FORMULA
(Sum_{n>=0} 1/(2*n + 1)^2) / (Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/(2*n + 1)^2) = A111003/A006752.
Equals Product_{k>=1} (1 + 1/A002145(k)^2)/(1 - 1/A002145(k)^2) = A243381 / A243379. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 30 2020
Equals Sum_{q in A004614} 2^A001221(q)/q^2. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 27 2021
Equals 1/A377753. - Hugo Pfoertner, Nov 22 2024
