Bernoulli Polynomial
There are two definitions of Bernoulli polynomials in use. The 
th Bernoulli polynomial is denoted here by 
(Abramowitz and Stegun 1972), and the archaic form of the Bernoulli polynomial by 
(or sometimes 
). When evaluated at zero, these definitions correspond to the Bernoulli numbers,
The Bernoulli polynomials are an Appell sequence with

(Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 804), first obtained by Euler (1738). The first few Bernoulli polynomials are
Whittaker and Watson (1990, p. 126) define an older type of "Bernoulli polynomial" by writing

instead of (12). This gives the polynomials

where 
is a Bernoulli number, the first few of which are

For rational values of

can be expressed for positive integers 
in terms of Bernoulli and Euler numbers, for example
Bernoulli (1713) defined the polynomials in terms of sums of the powers of consecutive integers,
![sum_(k=0)^(m-1)k^(n-1)=1/n[B_n(m)-B_n(0)].](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/BernoulliPolynomial/NumberedEquation10.gif) |

The Bernoulli polynomials satisfy the recurrence relation

(Appell 1882), and obey the identity

where 
is interpreted as the Bernoulli number 
. Another related identity is

where

Hurwitz gave the Fourier series

is omitted. Performing the sum gives

A sum identity involving the Bernoulli polynomials is

where

is a falling factorial (Roman 1984, p. 94). A general identity is given by

A generalization 
of the Bernoulli polynomials with an additional free parameter can be defined such that 
(Roman 1984, p. 93). These polynomials have the generating function

and are implemented in the Wolfram Language as NorlundB[n, alpha, z].
