A concise form is to evaluate the expression in the summation notation itself and using the concepts of the Riemann Zeta function, specifically the value ζ ( 2 ) = 6 π 2 which is the same as the Basel problem.
S = n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( ( 2 n + 1 ) 2 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n 2 1 − ( 2 n ) 2 1 ) ⟹ S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n 2 1 − 4 1 ⋅ n 2 1 )
Distributing the summation symbol inside the general term of the sequence, we have,
S = ζ ( 2 ) − 4 1 ζ ( 2 ) = 4 3 ⋅ ζ ( 2 ) = 2 4 3 π 2 = 8 π 2
