For questions related to 'elementary' proofs in a technical sense, which has nothing to do with the difficulty of the argument or result. A typical example would be 'elementary' proofs of the Prime Number Theorem, which avoid complex analysis. The tag is however not limited to this particular notion of 'elementary.'

Simplifying a double sum of inverses

We have $$f(n+1)-f(n)=\frac1{n^2}+\frac2{n}\left(1+\frac 12+\ldots+\frac 1{n-1}\right)-\frac2{n+1}\left(1+\frac 12+\ldots+\frac 1{n}\right),$$ and $f(2)=0$. So \begin{gather*} f(m)=\sum_{n=2}^{m-1}(f( …

Length of Hirzebruch continued fractions

Lets call expansions $$\langle x_1,\ldots,x_m\rangle:=\cfrac{1}{x_1-{\atop\ddots\,\displaystyle{-\cfrac{1}{x_m}}}}$$ (as in Perron's book) reduced regular continued fractions (RRCF). Probably they are …

Different derivations of the value of $\prod_{0\leq j<k<n}(\eta^k-\eta^j)$

Your are asking about determinant of the Schur Matrix. So you can use original Schur's article or another classical expositions mentioned at Mathworld.
