Heptagonal Number - Sum of Reciprocals

Sum of Reciprocals

A formula for the sum of the reciprocals of the heptagonal numbers is given by:

\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2}{n(5n-3)} = \frac{1}{15}{\pi}{\sqrt{25-10\sqrt{5}}}+\frac{2}{3}\ln(5)+\frac{{1}+\sqrt{5}}{3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{10-2\sqrt{5}}\right)+\frac{{1}-\sqrt{5}}{3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{10+2\sqrt{5}}\right)

Famous quotes containing the words sum of and/or sum:

    “They are but beggars that can count their worth,
    But my true love is grown to such excess
    I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We didn’t come to dig in Egypt for medals. Much more is learned from studying bits of broken pottery than from all the sensational finds. Our job is to increase the sum of human knowledge of the past, not to satisfy our own curiosity.”
    —John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
