FORMULA
Equals Integral_{x=0..1; y=0..1} [x^2+y^2>1]/(x^2+y^2) where [] is the Iverson bracket.
Equals Integral_{0..1} log(1+x^2)/(1+x^2) dx. - Jean-François Alcover, Sep 22 2014
Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1) * H(k)/(2*k+1), where H(k) = A001008(k)/A002805(k) is the k-th harmonic number. - Amiram Eldar, Jul 22 2020
