Table of n, a(n) for n=0..7.

Formula

zeta(3) = cot(Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*acot(a(n))).

Let b(0) = zeta(3), b(n) = (b(n-1)*floor(b(n-1))+1)/(b(n-1)-floor(b(n-1))) then a(n) = floor(b(n)).

Prog

(PARI) \p900
bn=vector(100);
bn[1]=zeta(3);
b(n)=if(n<0, 0, bn[n]);
for(n=2, 10, bn[n]=(b(n-1)*floor(b(n-1))+1)/(b(n-1)-floor(b(n-1))));
a(n)=floor(b(n+1));
