How to find the sum of the series $\sum_{k=2}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2-1}$? I have this problem :
$$S_n=\sum_{k=2}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2-1}$$
My solution
$$S_n=\sum_{k=2}^\infty \frac{1}{k^2-1} = -\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k+1} -\frac{1}{k-1} = -\frac{1}{2}[(\frac{1}{3}-1)+(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2})+(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{3})+(\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{4})+...]$$
I think that the sum should be $\frac{1}{2}$ since the limit of :
$$-\frac{1}{2}[-1+\frac{1}{k}+...+\frac{1}{n}] = \frac{1}{2}$$
But that wrong. Any ideas?

$$-\frac{1}{2}[(\frac{1}{3} - 1) + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{4})\ldots $$
$$-\frac{1}{2}[-1 - \frac{1}{2} + (\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4}) + (\frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{5}) \ldots $$
$$-\frac{1}{2}[-1 - \frac{1}{2}] = \frac{3}{4} $$
Notice that I am just rearranging to cancel all the positive terms as it is a telescoping sum.
