    Starting from the power series expansions of \((\sin^{-1}x)^q\) , for \(1\leq q\leq 4\), formulae are obtained for the sum of several infinite series. Some of these evaluations involve \(\zeta(3)\). For an integer \(m\geq 0\) the following sample theorems are proved: Theorem 2.1: \[ \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{{2k\choose k}}{(2k+1)(2k+2m+1){2k+2m\choose k+m}}=2^{-4m}\left(\sum_{r=1\atop r\equiv 1\pmod 2}^m \frac{{2m\choose m-r}}{r^2}+{2m\choose m}\frac{\pi^2}{8}\right). \] Theorem 2.6: \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{k}{(k+1)(2k+1)(2k-1)}\sum_{j=1}^k\frac{1}{j^2}=\frac{\pi^2}{36}+\frac23 \log 2+\frac{\pi^2}{9}\log 2-\frac12 \zeta(3). \] Also some special cases, such as \(\sum_ {n=0}^ \infty\frac{1}{n^ 2}=\frac{\pi^ 2}{6}\) and \(\sum_ {n=0}^ \infty\frac{1}{(2n+1)^ 2}=\frac{\pi^ 2}{8}\) are given.
