The Flint Hills series is the series S_1=sum_(n=1)^infty(csc^2n)/(n^3) (Pickover 2002, p. 59). It is not known if this series converges, since csc^2n can have sporadic large ...

If f(x) is an even function, then b_n=0 and the Fourier series collapses to f(x)=1/2a_0+sum_(n=1)^inftya_ncos(nx), (1) where a_0 = 1/piint_(-pi)^pif(x)dx (2) = ...

If f(x) is an odd function, then a_n=0 and the Fourier series collapses to f(x)=sum_(n=1)^inftyb_nsin(nx), (1) where b_n = 1/piint_(-pi)^pif(x)sin(nx)dx (2) = ...

_2F_1(-1/2,-1/2;1;h^2) = sum_(n=0)^(infty)(1/2; n)^2h^(2n) (1) = 1+1/4h^2+1/(64)h^4+1/(256)h^6+... (2) (OEIS A056981 and A056982), where _2F_1(a,b;c;x) is a hypergeometric ...

In 1757, V. Riccati first recorded the generalizations of the hyperbolic functions defined by F_(n,r)^alpha(x)=sum_(k=0)^infty(alpha^k)/((nk+r)!)x^(nk+r), (1) for r=0, ..., ...

A number given by the generating function (2t)/(e^t+1)=sum_(n=1)^inftyG_n(t^n)/(n!). (1) It satisfies G_1=1, G_3=G_5=G_7=...=0, and even coefficients are given by G_(2n) = ...

The geometric distribution is a discrete distribution for n=0, 1, 2, ... having probability density function P(n) = p(1-p)^n (1) = pq^n, (2) where 0<p<1, q=1-p, and ...

A finite, increasing sequence of integers {n_1,...,n_m} such that sum_(i=1)^m1/(n_i)-product_(i=1)^m1/(n_i) in N. A sequence is a Giuga sequence iff it satisfies ...

The identity PVint_(-infty)^inftyF(phi(x))dx=PVint_(-infty)^inftyF(x)dx (1) holds for any integrable function F(x) and phi(x) of the form ...

An algorithm for finding closed form hypergeometric identities. The algorithm treats sums whose successive terms have ratios which are rational functions. Not only does it ...
