I was asked to compute this series:

\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n - 1)}^{2}}

but by using the fact that

\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} = \frac{π^{2}}{6}

By direct calculation, we see that

\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} = \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 k - 1)}^{2}} + \frac{1}{4} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}}

which means

\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 k - 1)}^{2}} = \frac{3}{4} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} = \frac{3}{4} \frac{π^{2}}{6} = \frac{π^{2}}{8}

Observe that

\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n)}^{2}} = \frac{1}{{(2 \cdot 1)}^{2}} + \frac{1}{{(2 \cdot 2)}^{2}} + \frac{1}{{(2 \cdot 3)}^{2}} \dots = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{1^{2}} + \frac{1}{2^{2}} + \frac{1}{3^{2}} + \dots) = \frac{π^{2}}{4 (6)}

But

\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n)}^{2}} + \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n - 1)}^{2}} = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}}

where rearrangement is allowed since we are dealing with non-negative series.
