 Informat.io on Riemann Zeta Function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
In mathematics, the Riemann zeta function, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a function of significant importance in number theory, because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers.
Although mathematicians regard the Riemann zeta function as being primarily relevant to the "purest" of mathematical disciplines, number theory, it also occurs in applied statistics (see Zipf's law and Zipf-Mandelbrot law), physics, and the mathematical theory of musical tuning.
Zeta function regularization is used as one possible means of regularization of divergent series in quantum field theory.

 PlanetMath: index of special functions
The term “special function” is not a completely precise mathematical term.
It usually refers to a function of one or more real or complex variables which is either of use in some application or interesting in its own right, and hence has been studied enough to warrant giving it a name.
This is version 22 of index of special functions, born on 2004-10-01, modified 2005-05-15.

Derivatives of the Hurwitz Zeta Function for Rational Arguments
The functional equation for the Hurwitz Zeta function $\zeta(s, a)$ is used to obtain formulas for derivatives of $\zeta(s, a)$ at negative odd $s$ and rational $a$.
For several of these rational arguments, closed form expressions are given in terms of simpler transcendental functions, like the logarithm, the polygamma function, and the Riemann Zeta function.

The Weierstrass zeta function zeta(z;g_2,g_3) is the quasiperiodic function defined by (dzeta(z;g_2,g_3))/(dz)=-P(z;g_2,g_3), where P(z;g_2,g_3) is the Weierstrass elliptic function with invariants g_2 and g_3, with lim_(z->0)[zeta(z;g_2,g_3)-z^(-1)]==0.
The prime zeta function P(n)=sum_(p)1/(p^n), where the sum is taken over primes is a generalization of the Riemann zeta function zeta(n)=sum_(k==1)^infty1/(k^n), where the sum is over all integers.

In mathematics, the Riemann zeta function is a function which is of paramount importance in number theory, because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers.
Bernhard Riemann realized that the zeta function can be extended by analytic continuation in a unique way to a meromorphic function ζ(''s'') defined for all complex numbers s with s ≠ 1.

 Open Questions: The Riemann Hypothesis
Riemann (1826-66) studied the zeta function (including Euler, as we shall see), the notation is Riemann's, and hence the function is commonly known as the zeta function, after the greek letter ζ.
The numerical values of such functions at special points (and their "residues" at poles) have particular significance in terms of algebraic and arithmetic objects that the functions are associated with.
