On http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/note/SomeNotesOnInternalImplementation.html#21479 it says: "Zeta and related functions use Euler-Maclaurin summation and functional equations. Near the critical strip they also use the Riemann-Siegel formula." -- Stephen Luttrell West Malvern, UK "Dominic" <miliotodc at rtconline.com> wrote in message news:hj130p$bd4$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello guys.
