closed form for $sum_{ngeq1}pi nlogfrac{4n+1}{4n-1}prod_{kgeq1\kneq n}frac{k^2}{k^2-n^2}$?

Look at what I found!
$$int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}xcsc x mathrm dx=sum_{ngeq1}pi nlogbigg(frac{4n+1}{4n-1}bigg)prod_{kgeq1\kneq n}frac{k^2}{k^2-n^2}$$
I want to know if it is valid, and if there is a nice closed form to go with my series.



Here's my proof.



Recall the famous product representation
$$sin x=xprod_{kgeq1}bigg(1-frac{x^2}{pi^2k^2}bigg)$$
Hence we have that
$$I=int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}xcsc x mathrm dx=int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}prod_{kgeq1}frac{pi^2k^2}{pi^2k^2-x^2}mathrm dx$$
We may now preform a fraction decomposition, and start with
$$prod_{kgeq1}frac{pi^2k^2}{pi^2k^2-x^2}=sum_{ngeq1}frac{pi^2n^2}{pi^2n^2-x^2}b_n$$
Multiplying both sides by $prod_{kgeq1}frac{pi^2k^2-x^2}{pi^2k^2}$,
$$1=sum_{ngeq1}frac{pi^2n^2}{pi^2n^2-x^2}b_nprod_{kgeq1}frac{pi^2k^2-x^2}{pi^2k^2}$$
$$1=sum_{ngeq1}b_nprod_{kgeq1\kneq n}frac{pi^2k^2-x^2}{pi^2k^2}$$
Which in turn implies that, for any $minBbb N$,
$$1=b_mprod_{kgeq1\kneq m}frac{pi^2k^2-pi^2m^2}{pi^2k^2}$$
$$b_m=prod_{kgeq1\kneq m}frac{k^2}{k^2-m^2}$$
Hence we can begin the process of integration:
$$I=int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}sum_{ngeq1}frac{pi^2n^2}{pi^2n^2-x^2}b_nmathrm dx$$
$$I=sum_{ngeq1}pi^2n^2b_nint_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}frac{mathrm dx}{pi^2n^2-x^2}$$
This final integral evaluates to
$$int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}frac{mathrm dx}{pi^2n^2-x^2}=frac1{pi n}logbigg(frac{4n+1}{4n-1}bigg)$$
So finally we have
$$I=sum_{ngeq1}pi nlogbigg(frac{4n+1}{4n-1}bigg)prod_{kgeq1\kneq n}frac{k^2}{k^2-n^2}$$
Does this work? Is there a closed form value for $I$? Is there another way to prove this?



Update:



Integrating form $0$ to $pi/2$ instead of $-pi/4$ to $pi/4$ gives, according to Wolfram Alpha,
$$sum_{ngeq1}frac{pi n}2logbigg(frac{2n+1}{2n-1}bigg)prod_{kgeq1\kneq n}frac{k^2}{k^2-n^2}=2G$$
Where $G$ is Catalan's constant. Isn't that cool?! That's crazy cool!

This final integral evaluates to
$$int_{-pi/4}^{pi/4}frac{mathrm dx}{pi^2n^2-x^2}=frac1{pi n}logbigg(frac{4n+1}{4n-1}bigg)$$

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
