Talk:Barnes zeta function

Notation
I may just be revealing my own lack of mathematical knowledge here, but... is there any chance someone could actually explain in the article how a person is supposed to read this function? Is it a function of an arbitrary number of parameters? Is w a set?... Well, it can't be, because it's used like a number... Is it a function of all of the divisors of w? And even if we knew all of that information, where do the values of n_k come from? They just sneak in out of no where without explanation. It's absolutely unclear what the definition of this function even means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.18.134 (talk) 02:45, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
