Theorem

$\map \psi {\dfrac 1 4} = -\gamma - 3 \ln 2 - \dfrac \pi 2$


Proof

\(\ds \map \psi {\frac 1 4}\) \(=\) \(\ds -\gamma - \ln 8 - \frac \pi 2 \map \cot {\frac 1 4 \pi} + 2 \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^{\ceiling {4 / 2} - 1} \map \cos {\frac {2 \pi n} 4} \map \ln {\map \sin {\frac {\pi n} 4} }\) Gauss's Digamma Theorem
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\gamma - 3 \ln 2 - \frac \pi 2 \times 1 + 2 \times 0 \times \map \ln {\frac {\sqrt 2} 2}\) Cotangent of $45 \degrees$, Cosine of $90 \degrees$, Sine of $45 \degrees$ and Sum of Logarithms
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\gamma - 3 \ln 2 - \dfrac \pi 2\)
