The infinite sum derived above converges only when <math>\mathrm{Re}(s) = \sigma > 1</math>. However, mathematicians found that the zeta function can be "extended" or "continued" to other values of s where the original sum doesn't converge. This mathematical technique is called {{w|analytic continuation}}.
