A115368: Decimal expansion of first zero of the Bessel function

J0(z)

The most famous zeros of a function are of course the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. But other functions also have interesting zeros which mathematicians have studied, the Bessel function

J0(z)

being one of them. (Mathematicians have also studied the zeros of the Bessel functions

Jn (z)

with other integer values of

n

.)
