Why not solve by hand for b[n] (and preferrably use lower case symbols for your own ones), i.e. b[n_] := -Sum[Binomial[n + 1, k]*b[k], {k, 0, n - 1}]/(n + 1) and then calculate the values recursively in a table b[0] = 1; Table[{n, b[n]}, {n, 0, 16}] {{0, 1}, {1, -(1/2)}, {2, 1/6}, {3, 0}, {4, -(1/30)}, {5, 0}, {6, 1/42}, {7, 0}, {8, -(1/30)}, {9, 0}, {10, 5/66}, {11, 0}, {12, -(691/2730)}, {13, 0}, {14, 7/6}, {15, 0}, {16, -(3617/510)}} Regards, Wolfgang "David Turner" <DTurner at faulkner.edu> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:j8r9gv$3jd$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello, > > I wish to compute several Bernoulli numbers, say B0 through B20.
