This is similar, but without partial fractions!
n 0 1 ( 2 n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 2 ) ( 2 n + 3 ) = n 0 Γ ( 2 n + 1 ) Γ ( 2 n + 4 ) = n 0 1 2 B ( 2 n + 1 , 3 ) = 1 2 n 0 0 1 x 2 n ( 1 x ) 2 d x = 1 2 0 1 1 x 1 + x d x = ln 2 1 2
n 0 1 ( 4 n + 1 ) ( 4 n + 2 ) ( 4 n + 3 ) ( 4 n + 4 ) = n 0 Γ ( 4 n + 1 ) Γ ( 4 n + 5 ) = n 0 1 6 B ( 4 n + 1 , 4 ) = 1 6 n 0 0 1 x 4 n ( 1 x ) 3 d x = 1 6 0 1 ( 1 x ) 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) ( 1 + x ) d x = ln 2 4 π 24
