sum of consecutive integer powers, Jakob Bernoulli introduced a sequence of rational numbers, later called Bernoulli numbers, to compute the sum of consecutive integer powers, this formula is given by and so on, well in case you can not work it out all is not lost, an Iraqi-born 16-year-old reportedly has cracked the puzzle, Mohamed Altoumaimi, who immigrated to Sweden six years ago, took only four months to find a formula that explains a sequence of calculations known as the Bernoulli numbers, a code that had stumped some of the best experts in the field, Agence France-Presse reported, Altoumaimi said after his high school teachers were skeptical about his work he contacted professors at Uppsala University, one of Sweden's top institutions, who confirmed his formula was correct and offered him a place at the university, AFP reported, enough of maths, it has given me a headache, and I still can not see the answer!
