$O(n)$ periods of Eisenstein series on $O(n\mathrm{,1})$

We will walk over the calculation of the $O(n)$ period on an Eisenstein series on $O(n\mathrm{,1})$. We will see how this period unwinds into an Euler product, and how the factors can be computed (especially how high values of $n$ can be reduced to lower values). We will also see how this period fits into the bigger picture.
