%N Decimal expansion of Sum_{n>=2} 1/(n*log(n)^2).

%C Sum_{n>1} 1/(n*log(n)^2) is a tiny bit greater than (zeta(2))^(3/2) = (Pi^2 / 6)^(3/2) = 2.109709908063657.... - _Daniel Forgues_, Mar 30 2012

%C From _Bernard Schott_, Oct 03 2021: (Start)

%C Theorem: Bertrand series Sum_{n>=2} 1/(n*log(n)^q) is convergent iff q > 1 (for q = 3, 4, 5 see respectively A145419, A145420, A145421).

%C As H(n) ~ log(n), compare with A347145. (End)
