This constant links Euler's constant and Pi to the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers (see formulas).

FORMULA
Ni_1 = Sum_{k>=2} (-1)^k*zeta(k)/(k+1).
Ni_1 = Sum_{n>0} (Integral_{x=0..1} x^2*(1-x)_{n-1} dx)/(n*n!), where (z)_n = z*(z+1)*(z+2)*...*(z+n-1) is the Pochhammer symbol.
Equals Sum_{k>=1} (1/(2*k) + k * log(1+1/k) - 1) (Shamos, 2007). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 10 2025
