As a retired individual with degrees from German universities in mathematics/analysis and structural engineering, I spent my professional life in responsible positions in research, teaching, and practical application, working on the mathematical modeling of states and processes in real-world systems. Now I have the time to explore interesting mathematical problems using Maple. It is my professional curiosity that drives me.

For practice, I would like to calculate the left-hand limit according to the attached file. The computer does not finish. The result pi^2/6 is known from a calculation "on foot".

``

limit((1-t)^2*(sum(k*t^k/(1-t^k), k = 1 .. infinity)), t = 1, left)

limit((1-t)^2*(sum(k*t^k/(1-t^k), k = 1 .. infinity)), t = 1, left)

For the following task I only get the numerical solution 2.356... :
sum(n=1 to oo)[arctan(2/n^2)]
The known "closed" result is 3*pi/4.

For the following limit determination, I do not get the known result 2, but only a term with LerchPhi. Please give me some advice.
lim(n-->oo)[(n/(2^n))*sum(k=1 to n) (2^k/k)]

I am very interested in problems of integration and limit determination. In order to be able to continue other work with the help of Maple, I would like some advice on solving the following problem. The solution I know of using pen and paper is very tiring, perhaps Maple can make it easier:

To calculate Int(from 0 to 1)[ln(x)*ln(1-x)]dx
or, for obvious reasons, formulated differently:
Let eps, delta>0. Calculate
lim(eps, delta-->0)Int(0+eps to 1-delta)[ln(x)*ln(1-x)]dx

One of the most difficult/nice tasks from my collection of old problems:
Calculate Int(from 0 to 1)Int(from 0 to 1)[1/(1-x*y)]dxdy .
