COMMENT

With the k-th appended term being 2*3*...*(2+k-2)*2^k*(2^k-1)*Bern(k) / (2*k!*(J^(k+2-1))). Bern(k) is a Bernoulli number and J is a large number of the form 4n + 1. This is from "An Atlas Of Functions" by Spanier, J. and Oldham, K. B. 1987, equation 3:3:7. */ [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), May 07 2009]
