cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A385495 Most significant nonzero decimal digit of zeta(n)-1, where zeta(n) = Sum_{j >= 1} 1/j^n is the Riemann zeta function.

Comments

The sequence starts at n = 2 since the zeta function sum diverges for any integer n < 2.
Conjecture: a(n) = A111395(n) for all n >= 10 (for a weaker conjecture see the comments in the related sequence A385431 and the Mathematics Stack Exchange discussion).

Examples

			For n = 4, a(4) = 8 since the most significant digit of zeta(4)-1 = 0.0823232... is 8 (see A013662).
