COMMENTS
| With the k-th appended term being 2*3*...*(2+k-2)*2^k*(2^k-1)*Bern(k) / (2*k!*(J^(k+2-1))). Bern(k) is a Bernoulli number and J is a large number of the form 4n + 1. This is from "An Atlas Of Functions" by Spanier, J. and Oldham, K. B. 1987, equation 3:3:7. */ [From Harry J. Smith, May 07 2009]

FORMULA
| c = integrate(x=0..1, arctan(x)/x ).
c = integrate(x=0..1, 3*arctan(x*(1-x)/(2-x))/x ). - Posting to Number Theory List by James McLaughlin, Sep 27 2007
c = (zeta(2,1/4)- zeta(2,3/4))/16 - [Gerry Martens, May 27 2011]
