Problem on differential Calculus and Series by Joseph Edwards

120 Views Asked by At

This Question asks for the summation of the series below, through some use of derivatives and log

$$\sum_{r=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\theta^2 - (rπ)^2} = \frac{1}{\theta^2 - π^2} + \frac{1}{\theta^2 - 2^2π^2} +\frac{1}{\theta^2 - 3^2π^2} + .....\infty$$

Now , if you take the summation as Y then $$ Y = \frac{1}{2π\theta}\sum_{r=1}^\infty \frac{d}{dr}\log\frac{\theta + rπ}{\theta - rπ}$$ But I can't get ahead after this, so I need help
