  One of the ways that analysis on fractals is more complicated than analysis
on manifolds is that the asymptotic behavior of the spectral counting function
$N(t)$ has a power law modulated by a nonconstant multiplicatively periodic
function. Nevertheless, we show that for the Sierpinski gasket it is possible
to write an exact formula, with no remainder term, valid for almost every $t$.
This is a stronger result than is valid on manifolds.
