ln (1+x)=Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (x^n /n)(−1)^(n+1)   ((ln (1+x))/x)=Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (x^n /(n+1))(−1)^n   ∫_0 ^1 Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (x^n /(n+1))(−1)^n =  [x−(x^2 /2^2 )+(x^3 /3^2 )−+...]_0 ^1   =1−(1/2^2 )+(1/3^2 )−+...=(π^2 /(12))

I =∫_0 ^1  ((ln(1+x))/x)dx  we have ln^′ (1+x) =(1/(1+x)) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (−1)^n x^n  ⇒  ln(1+x) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (((−1)^n x^(n+1) )/(n+1)) +c (c=0)  =Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^(n−1)  x^n )/n) ⇒((ln(1+x))/x) =Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^(n−1)  x^(n−1) )/n) ⇒  I =∫_0 ^1 (Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n) x^(n−1) )dx =Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^(n−1) )/n) ∫_0 ^1  x^(n−1)  dx  =Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^(n−1) )/n^2 ) =−Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n^2 ) let  δ(x)=Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n^x )  we have proved δ(x) =(2^(1−x) −1)ξ(x) ⇒  Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (((−1)^n )/n^2 ) =δ(2) =(2^(1−2) −1)ξ(2) =−(1/2)×(π^2 /6)=−(π^2 /(12)) ⇒  ★I =(π^2 /(12))★
