Finding the infinite sum involving $\coth$ function using contour integration I am looking to show: $\sum_{n=1}^∞ \frac{\coth(nπ)}{n^3} = \frac{7π^3}{180}$
There is a hint earlier that you are supposed to be using the function $f(z)=\frac{\cot z\coth z}{z^3}$. I have calculated the residue at the pole of order 5 at $z=0$ as $-\frac{7}{45}$, but I am unsure how to calculate the other residues, so I can use the residue theorem. 
I think there is a simple pole whenever $z=\frac{(2n+1)π}{2}$, as this is when $\cot z=0$ but I just don't know how to find the residue here. I'm presuming my residues will lead to the sum I'm wanting to find coming out in some form when I apply the residue theorem, but I'm just not sure how to get there. 
Thanks so much for any help in advance. 
 A: Observe that the integrand has simple poles at the points 
$z=n\pi$ and $z=i n\pi$, with $n\in\mathbb Z$, $n\ne0$.
The residues at the poles are computed as :
$$
\lim_{z\to n\pi}(z-n\pi)\frac{\cot z\coth z}{z^3}=\lim_{\zeta\to0}\zeta\frac{\cot (\zeta)\coth(\zeta+n\pi)}{(\zeta+n\pi)^3}=\frac{\coth(n\pi)}{(n\pi)^3},
$$
and
$$
\lim_{z\to in\pi}(z-in\pi)\frac{\cot z\coth z}{z^3}=\lim_{\zeta\to0}\zeta\frac{\cot (\zeta+in\pi)\coth(\zeta)}{(\zeta+i n\pi)^3}=\frac{\coth(n\pi)}{(n\pi)^3},
$$
where we used 
$$\begin{align}
&\lim_{x\to0}x\cot x=\lim_{x\to0}x\coth x=1,\\ 
&\cot(x+n\pi)=\cot(x),\\ 
&\coth(x+in\pi)=\coth(x),\\ 
&\cot(i x)=-i\coth(x).
\end{align}
$$
With this and a suitable choice of the integration contour you will obtain:
$$\begin{align}
4\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\coth(n\pi)}{(n\pi)^3}&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left[\operatorname{Res}(f,-n\pi)+\operatorname{Res}(f,n\pi)+\operatorname{Res}(f,-in\pi)+\operatorname{Res}(f,in\pi)\right]\\
&=-\operatorname{Res}(f,0)=\frac7{45}.
\end{align}$$
A: In this answer, it is shown that
$$
\pi\coth(\pi n)=\frac1n+2n\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{n^2+k^2}\tag1
$$
Therefore, since $\zeta(2)=\frac{\pi^2}6$,
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{n^2\!\left(n^2+k^2\right)}
&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k^2}\left(\frac1{n^2}-\frac1{n^2+k^2}\right)\\
&=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k^2n^2}-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k^2\!\left(n^2+k^2\right)}\\
&=\frac12\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k^2n^2}\\[3pt]
&=\frac12\zeta(2)^2\\[6pt]
&=\frac{\pi^4}{72}\tag2
\end{align}
$$
Thus, since $\zeta(4)=\frac{\pi^4}{90}$
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\coth(\pi n)}{n^3}
&=\frac1\pi\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1{n^4}+\frac2\pi\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{n^2\!\left(n^2+k^2\right)}\\
&=\frac{\pi^3}{90}+\frac{\pi^3}{36}\\[3pt]
&=\frac{7\pi^3}{180}\tag3
\end{align}
$$
