There's a small mistake in the proof of the last claim. In the induction step you want to use \( \dagger \) - but this is only defined for \( n \geq 2 \). So the base case should be:
 
  
\( n = 2 \): Using \( \dagger : \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{B_{n-k}}{(n-k)!k!} = 0 \) we get the following set of equations:
 
 
$$ \begin{align}
 
\begin{cases}
 
B_1 + \frac{1}{2} B_0 = 0\\
 
\frac{1}{2}B_2 + \frac{1}{2}B_1 + \frac{1}{3!}B_0 = 0
 
\end{cases} \\
 
\end{align} $$
 
 
which solving is a piece of cake, resulting in \( B_2 = \frac{1}{6} \) and \( B_1 = - \frac{1}{2} \) if you remember \( B_0 = 1 \).
 
 
So the base case \( B_2 (0) = \frac{\pi^2}{3} = -\frac{(2\pi i)^2 B_2}{2} \)  is satisfied.
