COMMENTS

Gives closed forms for many arctangent values.

ArcTan[2]=Pi-a ArcTan[1/2]=a-Pi/2

ArcTan[3]=a-Pi/4 ArcTan[1/3]=3Pi/4-a

ArcTan[7]=7Pi/4-2a ArcTan[1/7]=2a-5Pi/4

ArcTan[4/3]=2a-Pi ArcTan[3/4]=3Pi/2-2a

There is the sum

a=Sum[((2+8r)/(8n+1)+(1-8r)/(8n+2)-4r/(8n+3)-(1+8r)/(8n+4)-(1/2+2r)/(8n+5)-(3/4+2r)/(8n+6)+r/(8n+7))/16^n,n,1,Infinity]
