FORMULA
Zeta(1, -1). Almkvist gives many formulas.
Equals (1 - gamma - log(2*Pi))/12 + Zeta'(2)/(2*Pi^2), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 25 2015
From Amiram Eldar, Jun 16 2021: (Start)
Equals 1/24 - gamma/3 - Sum_{k>=1} (zeta(2*k+1)-1)/((2*k+1)*(2*k+3)) = 1/12 - log(A), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (A074962) (Kinkelin, 1860).
Equals 2 * Integral_{x>=0} x*log(x)/(exp(2*Pi*x)-1) dx = 2*A261819. (Wright, 1931). (End)
