Table of n, a(n) for n=1..105.

Formula

Equals (1/2) * Sum_{n>=1} (1 - cos(2*Pi/n)).

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1) * 2^(2*k-1) * Pi^(2*k) * Zeta(2*k) / (2*k)!, where Zeta is the Riemann zeta function.

Equals Sum_{k>=1} 2^(4*k-2) * Pi^(4*k) * B(2*k) / (2*k)!^2, where B(n) is the Bernoulli number A027641(n)/A027642(n).
