Back in 2004, Peter Luschny wrote an open letter to Donald E. Knuth about his conviction that the proper definition of the Bernoulli number B(1) should be 1/2, not -1/2. Professor Knuth declined to embrace the idea. http://www.luschny.de/math/zeta/OpenLetter.pdf Peter has now put up a detailed response to Knuth, calling it The Bernoulli Manifesto. http://luschny.de/math/zeta/The-Bernoulli-Manifesto.html
