SOME INTERESTING SERIES ARISING FROM THE POWER −1 SERIES EXPANSION OF (sin x )q HABIB MUZAFFAR Received 3 February 2005 and in revised form 23 June 2005 −1 Starting from the power series expansions of (sin q x ) , for 1 ≤ q ≤ 4, formulae are ob- tained for the sum of several infinite series. Some of these evaluations involve ζ (3). 1. Introduction In [10], Choe deduced the formula ∞ 2 1 π n2 = 6 (1.1) n=1 from the power series expansion of sin−1(x ) (see also [1, 16]). By applying a general- −1 ization of the procedure used by Choe to the power series expansions of (sin x )q for 1 ≤ q ≤ 4, we obtain explicit formulae for the sum of several infinite series, see (2.1), (2.2), (2.3), (2.4), (2.5), and (2.6). For other applications based on the procedure used by Choe, see [11, 12, 17]. 2. Main results Let m denote an integer. For m ≥ 0, we have the following theorems.
