Separating the Real and Imaginary Portions


This page finishes the basic description and set up of the problem, and then begins the first step.
The Dirichlet Eta sum is an addition of complex numbers, which have real and imaginary parts. The first main step to showing when this sum equals 0, is to separate the real and imaginary portions within the sum. This is done using Euler's formula and complex division.
