CDF of sum of independent cosines?
Consider the random variable
$$X=\frac{1}{d}\sum_{k=1}^d\cos X_k$$
where $X_k$ are each drawn uniformly i.i.d. from $[0,2\pi]$. What is the CDF of X?
It seems that a relatively direct way could be to ...

The cotangent sum $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^k\cot\Big(\frac{\pi}{4n}(2k+1)\Big)=n$
On the Wolfram Research Reference page for the cotangent function (https://functions.wolfram.com/ElementaryFunctions/Cot/23/01/), I saw the following partial sum formula
$$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^k\cot\...

For which values of $ x$ we have $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{\tan(n!)-n!}$ converges?
The copy of this question is posted here
I have tried to to determine values of real $x$ for which $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{\tan(n!)-n!}$ converges but I can't , Presumably the set of values $\{ ...

Asymptotic behavior of a certain trigonometric partial sum
Let $a<0$ and $b>0$ be real numbers such that $a<-2b$. Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and consider the following partial sum:
$$
f(n) = \frac{1}{(n+1)^2}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n} (-1)^{...

Convergence of a Trigonometric Series
After working with a Fourier series for a while, I realized that it would be of great help to me if I could prove that the following limit is zero:
$$\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{m=1}^\infty\frac{...
