Consider the function $\zeta$ defined by the series $$\zeta(z) = \displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{n^z}.$$
Graph of $\zeta$ on $[-5,5]$.

Domain coloring of analytic continuation of $\zeta$.
Properties
Proposition: If $\mathrm{Re} \hspace{2pt} z > 1$, then the series defining $\zeta(z)$ converges.
Proof: █
Proposition (Euler Product): $\zeta(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{n^z} = \displaystyle\prod_{p \mathrm{\hspace{2pt} prime}} \dfrac{1}{1-p^{-z}}$
Proof: █
Proposition: Let $n$ be a positive integer. Then $$\zeta(2n)=(-1)^{n+1}\dfrac{B_{2n}(2\pi)^{2n}}{2(2n)!},$$ where $B_n$ denotes the Bernoulli numbers.
Proof: █
Theorem
The following formula holds: $$P(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{\mu(k)}{k} \log \zeta(kz),$$ where $P$ denotes the Prime zeta function, $\mu$ denotes the Möbius function, $\log$ denotes the logarithm, and $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function.
Proof
