We demonstrate that also the second sum involved in Apéry’s proof of the irrationality of ζ(3) becomes trivial by symbolic summation. In his beautiful survey [4], van der Poorten explained that Apéry’s proof [1] of the irrationality of ζ(3) relies on the following fact: If and b(n) = k=0 a(n) = n� � �2 � �2 n + k n k k k=0 n� � �2 � � �
