Different ways to prove $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$ (the Basel problem)
As I have heard people did not trust Euler when he first discovered the formula (solution of the Basel problem ) $$\zeta(2)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ However, Euler was Euler and he gave other proofs. I believe many of you know some nice proofs of this, can you please share it with us?
