By now, values of the Riemann zeta-function at odd integers, such as \zeta(3), have averted our understanding for hundreds of years. Numbers like these are responsible for an entire industry known as special values of zeta-functions. I will share (what I know about) certain numerical, combinatorial, and algebro-geometric aspects of this problem.
