contents We use the weighted version of the arithmetic-mean-geometric-mean inequality to motivate new results about Zaremba's function, $z(n) = \sum_{d|n} \frac{\log d}{d}$. We investigate record-setting values for $z(n)$ and the related function $v(n) = \frac{z(n)}{\log τ(n)}$ where $τ(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$. We show that $v(n)$ takes on a maximum value and we give a list of all record-setting values for$v(n)$. Closely connected inequalities motivate the study of numbers which are pseudoperfect in a strong sense.
