Formula

Equals 1 - (1+1/2)/2 + (1+1/2+1/3)/3 - ... [Jolley].

Equals Pi^2/12 - 1/2*(log(2))^2 [Lewin]. - Rick L. Shepherd, Jul 21 2004

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 15 2020: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*H(k)/k, where H(k) = A001008(k)/A002805(k) is the k-th harmonic number.

Equals Integral_{x=0..1} log(1+x)/(x*(1+x)) dx. (End)
