Bernoulli numbers
Bernoulli numbers are used in some series expansions of serval functions (trigonometric, hyperbolic, gamma, etc.), and are extremely important in number theory and analysis.
There are two definitions of Bernoulli numbers; this task will be using the modern usage (as per the National Institute of Standards and Technology convention), and are expressed as Bn.
task requirements
- show the Bernoulli numbers B0 through B60.
- express the numbers as fractions (most are improper fractions).
- fractions should be reduced.
- suppress all 0 (zero) values suppressed.
- index each number in some way so that it can be discerned which number is being displayed.
- (extra credit) align the solidi [/] if used.
(Other than B1, all odd Bernoulli have a value of 0 (zero).
- An algorithm
The numbers can be computed with the following algorithm (from wikipedia)
for m from 0 by 1 to n do A[m] ← 1/(m+1) for j from m by -1 to 1 do A[j-1] ← j×(A[j-1] - A[j]) return A[0] (which is Bn)

Python
<lang python>from fractions import Fraction as Fr
def bernoulli(n):
A = [0] * (n+1) for m in range(n+1): A[m] = Fr(1, m+1) for j in range(m, 0, -1): A[j-1] = j*(A[j-1] - A[j]) return A[0] # (which is Bn)
bn = [(i, bernoulli(i)) for i in range(61)] bn = [(i, b) for i,b in bn if b] width = max(len(str(b.numerator)) for i,b in bn) for i,b in bn:
print('B(%2i) = %*i/%i' % (i, width, b.numerator, b.denominator</lang>
- Output:
