Applying this method, we deduce some general results on power sums with arbitrary exponents. Finally, we give an outlook on higher mathematical connections between power sums, Stirling and Bernoulli numbers.application/pdfpower sumsStirling numbersBernoulli numbersfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessGábor Nyulhttps://doi.org/10.5485/TMCS.2015.0406Teaching Mathematics and Computer Science213Teach.
