An early proof for this problem involved the use of a Taylor series employing the sin function and the length of an arc on the unit circle. It can be solved using the s equals 2 case of the Riemann (*) zeta function. It was first proposed by Mengoli and popularized by Jakob Bernoulli. It solution was determined to be pi squared over six. For 10 points, name this mathematical problem solved by Euler and named after a Swiss city, which asks for the sum of the reciprocals of the perfect squares.
