               ...nice  calculus..   prove that::    lim_(x→0) (((2φ(x))/x^2 ) +(π^2 /(3x))) =^(???) ζ(3)           where       φ(x)=∫_0 ^( 1) (((t^x −1)(ln(1−t)))/(tln(t)))dt

solution:  φ(x)=−∫_0 ^( 1) {((t^x −1)/(ln(t)))Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (t^(n−1) /n)}dx            =−Σ_(n=1 ) ^∞ (1/n)∫_0 ^( 1) ((t^(x+n−1) −t^(n−1) )/(ln(t)))dt              =−Σ_(n≥1) (1/n)[ln(x+n)−ln(n)]         =−Σ_(n≥1) (1/n)ln(((x+n)/n))=−Σ_(n≥1) (1/n)ln(1+(x/n))  =−Σ_(n≥1) (1/n)Σ_(m≥1) (((((−x)/n))^m )/m)=Σ_(m≥1) (((−x)^m )/m)Σ_(n≥1) (1/n^(m+1) )  ∴ φ(x)=Σ_(m≥1) (((−x)^m  ζ(m+1))/m)         =(((−x)^1 )/1) ζ(2)+(x^2 /2)ζ(3)−(x^3 /3)ζ(4)+...  ⇒((2φ(x))/x^2 )=ζ(3)−((2ζ(2))/x)−((2x)/3)ζ(4)+...   ⇒2((φ(x))/x^2 )+(π^2 /(3x))=ζ(3)−((2x)/3)φζ(4)+...  limit from both  sides  as x→0...   lim_(x→0) (((2φ(x))/x^2 )+(π^2 /(3x)))=ζ(3) ✓✓                m.n.
