COMMENTS
According to Beckmann, Euler discovered the formula for this number as a sum of squares of reciprocals of odd numbers, along with similar formulas for Pi^2/6 and Pi^2/12. - Alonso del Arte, Apr 01 2013
Equals the asymptotic mean of the abundancy index of the odd numbers. - Amiram Eldar, May 12 2023

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 17 2020: (Start)
Equals -Integral_{x=0..1} log(x)/(1 - x^2) dx = Integral_{x=1..oo) log(x)/(x^2-1) dx.
Equals -Integral_{x=0..oo} log(x)/(1 - x^4) dx.
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} arctan(x)/(1 + x^2) dx. (End)
Equals Integral_{x=0..1} log(1+x+x^2+x^3)/x dx (Aubonnet). - Bernard Schott, Feb 04 2022
