	Why not use the function BernoulliB that is built into
Mathematica?  This code will generate the first 20 Bernoulli numbers:

		BernoulliB[Range[0, 20]]

	Best,

Hello,

I wish to compute several Bernoulli numbers, say B0 through B20.  The
Bernoulli numbers are defined recursively by

B0 = 1, and Solve[Sum[Binomial[n,k]*Bk,{k,0,n-1}]==0,Bn-1] for n > 1

I am trying to compute these numbers in some type of loop, and display
them in a table.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David
