%N Decimal expansion of Sum_{k>=0} arctan(1/2^k).

%C This number can be interpreted geometrically as the angle in radians of a fan made of stacked right triangles, with the length to height ratio doubling each successive triangle as seen in the illustration.

%H Daniel Hoyt, <a href="/A344906/a344906.png">Illustration of this angle's arctan relationship.</a>

%F Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*2^(2*k-1)/((2^(2*k-1)-1)*(2*k-1)).

%e 1.743286620472340003...
