The rationals r(n):=2*sum(((-1)^(j-1))/((j^3)*binomial(2*j,j)),j=1..n), tend for n->infinity, to (4/5)*Zeta(3), which is approximately 0.9616455224. See the van der Poorten reference.
The denominators are given in A130552.

Examples

			Rationals r(n): [1, 23/24, 1039/1080, 58157/60480, 1454021/1512000, ...].

Denominators are given in A130558.
The rational sequence r(n) = 24*Sum_{j=2..n} 1/(j^3*(j^2-1)), n >= 2, tends, in the limit n->infinity, to 6*(5-4*Zeta(3)) which is approximately 1.15063433.

Examples

			Rationals r(n), n >= 2: 1, 10/9, 409/360, 10297/9000, 8031/7000, 394019/343000, ....
