Finding $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{243}{16(n\pi )^5}\sin(2n\pi /3)$ The WolfarmAlpha couldn't give me the sum of $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{243}{16(n\pi )^5}\sin(2n\pi /3)$$ therefore I thought that this problem is difficult so I used my calculator to get $(1/24)$
Is this value right or not?
If this right, why the WolfarmAlph couldn't find it? 
 A: Consider the sum:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sin{\frac{2 n \pi}{3}}}{n^5} $$
This sum is a bit easier than it looks, if you know the residue theorem.  The main observation is that the numerator either takes the value $\sqrt{3}/2$, $-\sqrt{3}/2$, or $0$.  Then you may rewrite the sum as
$$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left [\frac1{(3 n-2)^5} - \frac1{(3 n-1)^5}\right ] = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3^5} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \left [\frac1{(n-2/3)^5} - \frac1{(n-1/3)^5}\right ]$$
We may apply the residue theorem to this sum by considering the following result:
$$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} f(n) = -\pi \sum_k \operatorname*{Res}_{z=z_k} [ \cot{\pi z} \, f(z) ]$$
where $z_k$ are the non-integer poles of $f$.  All we need to do is compute the residues at the poles, which in this case are at $z=1/3$ and $z=2/3$.  For example,
$$\begin{align}\operatorname*{Res}_{z=2/3} \left [ \cot{\pi z} \, \left ((z-2/3)^{-5}-(z-1/3)^{-5}  \right ) \right] &= \frac1{4!} \left [\frac{d^4}{dz^4} \cot{\pi z}   \right ]_{z=2/3} - \frac1{4!} \left [\frac{d^4}{dz^4} \cot{\pi z}   \right ]_{z=1/3} \\ &= -\frac{8\pi^4}{3 \sqrt{3}}\end{align}$$
The sum is then
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\displaystyle\sin{\frac{2 n \pi}{3}}}{n^5} = \frac{2 \pi^5}{729}$$
The result follows.

With Jonquiere Inversion Formula
  $\ds{\Li{n}\pars{\expo{2\pi\ic x}} + \pars{-1}^{n}\Li{n}\pars{\expo{-2\pi\ic x}}
=-\,{\pars{2\pi\ic}^{n} \over n!}\,\,{\rm B}_{n}\pars{x}}$ where
  $\ds{\,{\rm B}_{n}\pars{x}}$ is a
  Bernoulli Polynomial we'll have:
  \begin{align}
\color{#c00000}{\Im\Li{5}\pars{\expo{2\pi\ic/3}}}
&={\Li{5}\pars{\expo{2\pi\ic/3}} - \Li{5}\pars{\expo{-2\pi\ic/3}} \over 2\ic}

\\[5mm]&=\color{#c00000}{-\,{2\pi^{5} \over 15}\,\,{\rm B}_{5}\pars{1 \over 3}}
\end{align}
  Note that
  $\ds{\,{\rm B}_{5}\pars{x}=
     x^{5} - {5 \over 2}\,x^{4} + {5 \over 3}\,x^{3} - {1 \over 6}\,x}$ such that
  $\ds{\color{#c00000}{\,{\rm B}_{5}\pars{1 \over 3} = -\,{5 \over 243}}}$.

\begin{align}&\color{#66f}{\large%

A: We have the following identity for Polylogarithm function:
$$\text{Li}_n(e^{2 \pi i x}) + (-1)^n\text{Li}_n(e^{-2 \pi i x}) = - \dfrac{(2 \pi i)^n}{n!} B_n(x)$$
where $B_n(x)$ are the Bernoulli polynomials.
In your case, it is easy to show that
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{\sin(nx)}{n^5} = \dfrac1{2i} \left(\text{Li}_5(e^{ix}) - \text{Li}_5(e^{-ix})\right) = -\dfrac1{2i} \dfrac{(2 \pi i)^5}{5!} B_5\left(\frac{x}{2\pi} \right) = -\dfrac{2 \pi^5}{15}B_5\left(\dfrac{x}{2\pi} \right)$$
Plugging in $x = \frac{2 \pi}3$, we obtain
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{\sin(2n\pi/3)}{n^5} = -\dfrac{2 \pi^5}{15}B_5\left(\frac13 \right) = -\dfrac{2 \pi^5}{15} \cdot \dfrac{-5}{243} = \dfrac{2 \pi^5}{729}$$
A: WolframAlpha thinks that the answer can be written as polylogarithm functions:

It also equals to 1/24:

A: In Maple 18:
S:= Sum(243/16/(n*Pi)^5*sin(2*n*Pi/3),n=1..infinity):
simplify(value(convert(S,exp)));

$$ \dfrac{1}{24} $$
