"Special values of the Riemann zeta function”: I will give formulae for values of the Riemann zeta function at negative odd integers, originally found by Euler. These values are rational numbers, which — despite their apparently elementary nature — are deeply connected with hard number-theoretic problems. I will describe some of these connections, and try to describe a few modern results on this topic.
