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)

    “The sum of the whole matter is this, that our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be redeemed spiritually.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “No, the five hundred was the sum they named
    To pay the doctor’s bill and tide me over.

    I just want to get settled in my life....”
