mathematical proof for pi formula

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Of course! It's all so clear now... NOT!
This was supposed to be a cool signature...

From what I see, it only proves either function given the other. I could find a proof for Z(2)=pi²/6 which completes the dependency chain. (Look at the Taylor-Maclaurin series part)

Just for sure Z(1)=inf thus 1/Z(1)=0 thus pi^(1/Z(1))=1.
