Four new series for $\pi$ and related identities involving harmonic numbers

Recently, I discovered the following four new (conjectural) series for $\pi$: \begin{align}\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(5k^2-4k+1)8^k\binom{3k}k}{k(3k-1)(3k-2)\binom{2k}k\binom{4k}{2k}}&=\frac{3\pi}2,\...

Identities for Bernoulli numbers

I arrived at this formula by inductive reasoning, but I don’t know how to prove it. For any natural numbers $m$ and $k=0,1,2,\ldots, m-1$, $B_i$ - Bernoulli numbers we have: $$\sum_{i=0}^k (-1)^{k-i}\...

Series for $\frac{\log m}{\pi}$ with summands involving harmonic numbers

The classical rational Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ have the following four forms: \begin{align}\sum_{k=0}^\infty(ak+b)\frac{\binom{2k}k^3}{m^k}&=\frac{c}{\pi},\label{1}\tag{1} \\\sum_{k=0}^\...

Evaluations of three series involving binomial coefficients

Question. How to prove the following three identities? \begin{align}\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k(-2)^k\binom{2k}k}\left(\frac1{k+1}+\ldots+\frac1{2k}\right)=\frac{\log^22}3-\frac{\pi^2}{36},\tag{1} \end{...
