| May 14, 2020 at 4:03 | comment | added | Davey | This does not quite make sense to me: each individual Bernoulli polynomial $B_n(x)$ is of course elementary, but why is $B_n = B_n(0)$ elementary as a function of $n$? If it is, then what's a closed form expression for it? We can't use a series that involves binomial coefficients since I'm pretty sure those aren't elementary (they seem strictly more complicated than the factorial function, right?).I don't think we can even say that IF the factorial is elementary, then $B_n$ is elementary. | |
