Abstract

This paper aims to derive a recursive relationship of the values of Riemann zeta function at even natural numbers by using the principles of elementary symmetric polynomials, and associations between them and zeta functions, thereby expressing in only terms of previous zeta function’s values. Moreover, this recursive formula is going to be proven equivalently to the explicit formula of
