Abstract
We prove the identity where is the digamma function and The identity was first conjectured while studying class number for from two complementary perspectives. Our proof, however, is purely analytic: we compute cosine-series expansions of both sides, expressed in terms of the cosine integral Ci. Using the above identity and M\"obius inversion we find an elementary formula for
