COMMENTS

"The zeta function is zero at every negative even number (the trivial zeros) and the successive peaks and troughs now ... get rapidly more and more dramatic as you head west (negative). The last trough I show, which occurs at s = -49.587622654 [6410765611566721701427687663932953145937293907205304283197148592994576700093701122213865946359936710563061421]..., has a depth of about 305,507,128,402,512,981,000,000 (305507128402512978943383.678283221037793184376280971034994413486029678612346873189963110344084662196600996131417814311). You see the difficulty of graphing the zeta function all in one piece." - Derbyshire
