Description (last modified by )
From ask.sagemath.org:
sage: n = var('n')
sage: sum(1/((2*n+1)^2-4)^2, n, 0, oo)
1/64*pi^2 - 1/12
sage: sum(1/((2*n+1)^2-4)^2, n, 0, oo, algorithm='maxima')
1/64*pi^2 - 1/12
but correct answer is 1/64*pi^2. SymPy (with #22004) and Mathematica do it right:
sage: sum(1/((2*n+1)^2-4)^2, n, 0, oo, algorithm='mathematica') 1/64*pi^2 sage: sum(1/((2*n+1)^2-4)^2, n, 0, oo, algorithm='sympy') 1/64*pi^2
I am using version:
$ sage -standard | grep maxima maxima..................................5.35.1.p2 (5.35.1.p2)
See #18920 for the ticket updating maxima version.

This is fixed in 8.0.beta11.

Just to say that a doctest is already testing this issue:
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/src/sage/calculus/calculus.py#L569
It was added in #22004 and updated during the upgrade to maxima 5.39.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Seems to be fixed upstream or "perhaps an interaction with some flags that Sage is setting" according to Robert Dodier:
