[BUG] weird Zeta function
Zeta(3) returns... Zeta(3). I tried Eval, no luck.
So I decided to define F1(X)=Zeta(X) but it doesn't help since F1(3) also returns Zeta(3).
I plotted F1 and then I see the curve on screen. Using the touch screen, menu, I tried "go to" and "3" "Enter". Now I got an error message: function is not defined for x=3.
I tried a manual approximation and entered sum(n^ -3,n,1,1000) which returns 1.20 which is close enough and consistent with what I see on the curve.
So why zeta(3) fails?

Also the zeta help says that Re(x) shall be >1 while zeta returns values for negative x?
