. We're sorry about the hassle.
can you explain the first line in the proof. it is too scary.

If you integrate z a − 1 ( z − z − 1 ) ν around the semicircular contour formed by the region of the circle ∣ z ∣ ≤ 1 for R e z ≥ 0 , indented at 0 , 1 , − 1 suitably, then we obtain this result for ν > − 1 and a > ν . It is then possible to use analytic continuation to show that the result holds for all ν > − 1 and for all a . This is a simple variation of an integral known to Euler (integrating cos a θ cos ν θ from − 2 1 π to 2 1 π ). I guess that Euler probably knew this one as well!

If we define F ( ν , a ) = 2 ν ∫ 0 π sin ν t sin a t d t = ( ν + 1 ) B ( 2 1 ( ν + a + 2 ) , 2 1 ( ν − a + 2 ) ) π sin ( 2 1 a π ) then the desired integral is I = − ∂ ν 8 ∂ a 3 ∂ 1 1 F ( 0 , 0 ) . Now G ( ν ) = = − ∂ a 3 ∂ 3 F ( ν , 0 ) = 8 ( ν + 1 ) Γ ( 2 1 ν + 1 ) 2 π 2 Γ ( ν + 2 ) ( π 2 + 6 ψ ′ ( 1 + 2 1 ν ) ) 8 Γ ( 2 1 ν + 1 ) 2 π 2 Γ ( ν + 1 ) ( π 2 + 6 ψ ′ ( 1 + 2 1 ν ) ) After a whole bundle of simplification (!), we have I = = G ( 8 ) ( 0 ) 1 0 1 3 7 6 3 9 2 2 3 π 1 2 + 1 6 7 3 5 π 6 ζ ( 3 ) 2 + 2 8 3 5 π 2 ζ ( 5 ) 2 + 5 6 7 0 π 2 ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 7 ) + 4 3 4 6 5 π 4 ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 5 ) making the answer equal to 3 9 2 2 3 + 1 0 1 3 7 6 + 1 2 + 7 3 5 + 1 6 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 2 8 3 5 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 5 6 7 0 + 2 + 3 + 7 + 3 4 6 5 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 1 5 3 3 8 0
