Euler's proof of $\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$

Euler proved $$\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$$ where the reasoning of the signs thus is prepared, so that of the second may be had as $-$, prime ...

Are $\zeta'(0)$ and $\beta'(0)$ algebraic numbers?

Let $\zeta$ be the Riemann zeta function and $\beta$ the Dirichlet beta function. We know that $\zeta (0)=-1/2$ and $\beta (0)=1/2$ are algebraic numbers over $\mathbb{Q}$. This led me to the ...
