Pi^2 = 11/2 + 16 * sum(k>=2, (1+k-k^3)/(1-k^2)^3 ) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, May 04 2009]

Pi^2 = 3*(sum(n>=1, (2*n+1)^2/(sum(k=1..n, k^3 )) )/4 - 1) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Jan 14 2011]

Pi^2 = 3/2*(sum(n>=1, (7*n^2+2*n-2)/(2*n^2-1)/(n+1)^5 ) -zeta(3) -3*zeta(5)+22-7*polygamma(0,1-1/sqrt(2)) +5*sqrt(2)*polygamma(0,1-1/sqrt(2)) -7*polygamma(0,1+1/sqrt(2)) -5*sqrt(2)*polygamma(0,1+1/sqrt(2)) -14*EulerGamma) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Aug 13 2011]
