On [−π,π][-\pi,\pi], cosh⁡x=sinh⁡ππ+2sinh⁡ππ∑n≥1(−1)n1+n2cos⁡nx\cosh x = \dfrac{\sinh\pi}{\pi} + \dfrac{2\sinh\pi}{\pi}\sum_{n\ge1}\dfrac{(-1)^n}{1+n^2}\cos nx. Use this to find ∑n=1∞1(1+n2)2\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{1}{(1+n^2)^2} in closed form, and give its value as a decimal rounded to 44 places.
