Bernoulli number — In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers Bn are a sequence of rational numbers with deep connections to number theory. They are closely related to the values of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers. There are several conventions for… … Wikipedia
Bernoulli's inequality — In real analysis, Bernoulli s inequality is an inequality that approximates exponentiations of 1 + x .The inequality states that:(1 + x)^r geq 1 + rx!for every integer r ge; 0 and every real number x > −1. If the exponent r is even, then the… … Wikipedia
