Whats your view on that -1/12? I continue to argue with friends that it is a mistake, but i’s like a point of view from a pro (that would be you)
when Euler rearranges terms in an infinite series, he gets the solution to the Basel problem .. when we do it we end up with things like -1/12

That is the result of a beautiful relation between Bernoulli numbers and Riemann zeta function.

Note the relation between p-adic numbers and zeta-functions. https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download%3Fdoi%3D10.1.1.461.4588%26rep%3Drep1%26type%3Dpdf&ved=2ahUKEwiMsofmqdHlAhVNsaQKHX5GAxUQFjAHegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw333cEkRxB7umpQl97TVAwD … See also Norman Wildberger on p-adic numbers and fractions.https://youtu.be/XXRwlo_MHnI
