FORMULA
log(2) - Pi/8 = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*(1/n) + (-1/2)*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*(1/(2*n+1)).
Empirical g.f.: x*(2+x+x^2-2*x^3+9*x^4+2*x^5+14*x^6-2*x^7+3*x^8+2*x^9+3*x^10-2*x^11+x^13) / ((1-x)^3*(1+x)^3*(1-x+x^2)^2*(1+x+x^2)^2). - Colin Barker, Dec 17 2015
EXAMPLE
1/2 - 1/3 + 1/12 + 1/30 - 1/35 + 1/56 + 1/90 - 1/99 + 1/132 + 1/182 - 1/195 + 1/240 + ... = [(1 - 1/2) + (1/3 - 1/4) + (1/5 - 1/6) + (1/7 - 1/8) + (1/9 - 1/10) + (1/11 - 1/12) + ... ] - (1/2)*[(1 - 1/3) + (1/5 - 1/7) + (1/9 - 1/11) + (1/13 - 1/15) + ... ] = log(2) - Pi/8.
