Is there any closed formula for the series
$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{\sin (kx)}{k}$$
or for the sum
$$\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{\sin (kx)}{k}$$
where $x$ is an real number. Thank you.

2$\begingroup$ $$\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{\sin k}{k}=\frac{\pi-1}{2}$$ by the pointwise convergence of the Fourier series of $\frac{\pi-x}{2}$ (defined on $(0,2\pi)$ and extended by periodicity). Convergence is not uniform due to Gibbs phenomenon. $\endgroup$ – Jack D'Aurizio Apr 5 '18 at 12:15
