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:

    “I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
