2006年初sci.math帖子说Euler曾得到过这个级数:
I finally have some information about the asymptotic series
for the zeros of the solutions to tan(x) = x:
\[
q - \frac{1}{q} - \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{q^3} - \frac{13}{15} \cdot \frac{1}{q^5} - \frac{146}{105} \cdot \frac{1}{q^7} - ...
\quad
\text{where } q = \frac{(2k+1)\pi}{2}.
\]
Apparently, this series was independently obtained by
Euler [1] (1748), Cauchy [2] (1827), and Rayleigh [3] (1877).

This also appears on pp. 323-324 of the French
translation "Introduction à l'Analyse Infinitésimale"

See two-thirds down p. 323 for the series.

According to [5] (p. 273 & 275), the series is developed
on pp. 277-278 (p. 272 of the original 1827 publication).
