S=Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n (2n−1))/n^2 ) =2Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n)−Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n^2 )  we have Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n)=−log2  and Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n^2 ) =(2^(1−2) −1)ξ(2)=−(1/2).(π^2 /6)=−(π^2 /(12)) ⇒  S =−2log2+(π^2 /(12))
$$\mathrm{S}=\sum_{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} \left(\mathrm{2n}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\mathrm{2}\sum_{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} }{\mathrm{n}}−\sum_{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} }{\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{have}\:\sum_{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} }{\mathrm{n}}=−\mathrm{log2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\sum_{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{\infty} \:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} }{\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\left(\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}\right)\xi\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}.\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{6}}=−\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{12}}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{S}\:=−\mathrm{2log2}+\frac{\pi^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{12}} \\ $$
