Extensions of an identity of Euler

Abstract

In this paper we state the original identity proved by Euler, and we provide an alternative proof of this result. We then extend the approach to derive a further identity for the sum of reciprocals of squares, along with two other related identities. We conclude by obtaining yet another extension of the identity, and this is accomplished by means of a probability density function, or pdf.
