%F A016579 Equals A016628 minus A002162. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 23 2009
%F A016579 log(5/2) = 2*Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(n*P(n, 7/3)*P(n-1, 7/3)), where P(n, x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. The first 20 terms of the series gives the approximation log(5/2) = 0.916290731874155065183527(19...), correct to 24 decimal places. - _Peter Bala_, Mar 18 2024
