Symmetric functions and the Riemann zeta series (Q5931833)

The author derives some infinite series identities. We mention two examples which are consequences the author has given: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1+1/2^2+1/3^2+\cdots+1/n^2\over n^2}={7\over 4}\zeta(4) \tag{1} \] and \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1+1/2^4+1/3^4+\cdots+1/n^4\over n^4}={13\over 12}\zeta(8).\tag{2.} \]
