      Mit Hülfe der Formel \[ \log{}[a^2+b^2+2ab\cos{}(\alpha -\beta )]^{\frac 12}=\log{}a+\frac ba\cos{}(\alpha -\beta )-\frac 12\frac{b^2}{a^2}\cos{}2(\alpha -\beta )+\cdots , \] wo \(a,b; \alpha ,\beta\) resp. Längen und Winkel zweier Vectoren in einer Ebene sind, wird bewiesen, dass \[ \begin{multlined} \log{}\left( 1-\frac{2\eta}{1+\eta^2}\cos{}s\right)\;=\;-\eta^2+\frac 12\eta^4-\frac 13\eta^6+\cdots -2\eta\cos{}x-\frac 12.2\eta^2\cos{}2x-\frac 13.2\eta^3\cos{}3x-\cdots \\ = \sum^{\infty}_{i=1}\;(-1)^i\frac{\eta^{2i}}{i}-\sum^{\infty}_{i=1}\;\frac{2\eta^i}{i}\cos{}ix. \end{multlined} \]
