Formula

Decimal expansion of transcendental number arccot((1 + t)/(1 - t)) where t=cot(Pi*sqrt(2)/2) tanh(Pi*sqrt(2)/2). - Artur Jasinski, Sep 25 2008

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*zeta(4*k-2)/(2*k-1). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 25 2021

Mathematica

t = Cot[Pi Sqrt[2]/2] Tanh[Pi Sqrt[2]/2]; s = ArcCot[(1 + t)/(1 - t)]; RealDigits[N[s, 102]] (* Artur Jasinski, Sep 25 2008 *)

Prog

(Sage) t = cot(pi/sqrt(2))*tanh(pi/sqrt(2)); numerical_approx(atan((1-t)/(1+t)), digits=100) # G. C. Greubel, Feb 01 2019
