*This is the ninth episode of the RH Saga.* The philosophy of special values is that individual L-function values can hold deep and mysterious information about the underlying number-theoretic objects. Often, such values can be expressed in terms of periods. The overall aim of RH Saga Season 1 is to map the landscape of L-functions, as a foundation for in-depth exploration of some of the most immortal math problems of all time. *This video is part of a PeakMath project.* Support future PeakMath projects here: https://ko-fi.com/peakmath --- *Chapters:* 00:00 - Intro 02:31 - Examples of special values 11:03 - What is a period? 14:31 - Riemann zeta again 18:53 - Final remarks --- *Links:* 1.
