One example of such zeta functions is Riemann's zeta function (which is the moment zeta function of the uniform distribution in [0, 1]. For Riemann's zeta function we are able to show particularly sharp versions of our results.19 pages, supercedes a part of cs.LG/0107033Number TheoryClassical Analysis and ODEs11M06; 60F99; 60C05The moment zeta function and applicationstext
