Cool! I tried proving it myself, then found a proof online and it's much more complicated than I expected. So, it's kind of obvious that this will converge exponentially, but it's fun to see: by the fourth term, the relative error from 1/24 is about 10⁻¹⁰
Can you link to the proof you found? Though I can see that there’s a potential link to a sum of residues that @ValFadeev identifies, I can’t figure out a contour that actually exploits this.
Not sure if this is the one Andrew was looking at, but there's a few nice ones here.https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/389146/proof-of-frac1e-pi1-frac3e3-pi1-frac5e5-pi1-ldots …
Ok, there's some heavy machinery at work in those solutions. Maybe I should abandon my lame attempt and get to grips with modular forms instead.
I actually find the geometric series manipulation + generalized Basel formula to be quite clever!
