This is what I needed. Practically, a link were also okay.
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$$

Evaluating ζ(2) by Robin Chapman contains several proofs (~14 altogether). You can have a look through and find a nice one.
I think you have to compute the Fourier series of either $\sin$ or $x$ on $(0,2\pi)$ extended to $\mathbb R$ periodically to get the left hand side and then use Parseval's theorem to prove equivalence to the right hand side.
