%F The logarithm is -Sum_{s>=2} Sum_{j=1..floor(s/(1+r))} binomial(s-r*j-1, j-1)*(1-Zeta(s))/j at r=1.

%F s*Sum_{j=1..floor(s/2)} binomial(s-j-1, j-1)/j = A001610(s-1).

%F Equals 1/Product_{k=1..2} Gamma(1-x_k) = -sin(A094886)/A000796, where x_k are the 2 roots of the polynomial x*(x+1)-1. [_R. J. Mathar_, Feb 20 2009]
