| Abstract: | Ever since the time of Euler, the so-called Euler sums have been evaluated in many different ways. We give here a (presumably)
new proof of the classical Euler sum. We show that several interesting analogues of the Euler sums can be evaluated by systematically
analyzing some known summation formulas involving hypergeometric series. Many other identities related to the Euler sums are
also presented.
