Can someone explain why
$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty (ζ[2k+1]-1)=\frac{1}{4}?$$
Answer
We can rearrange
$$ \begin{align}\sum_{k=1}^\infty(\zeta(2k+1)-1)&=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac1{n^{2k+1}}\\
&=\sum_{n=2}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{n^{2k+1}}\\
&=\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac1{n(n^2-1)}\\
&=\sum_{n=2}^\infty\left(\frac1{2n(n-1)}-\frac1{2(n+1)n}\right)\\&=\frac14\end{align}$$
