[parent] Gauss' digamma theorem (Theorem)

Theorem (Gauss). $$ \Psi(x+n)=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+1}+\cdots+\frac{1}{x+n-1}+\Psi(x), n=1,2,3,\ldot $$ $$ \Psi\left(\frac{p}{q}\right)=-\gamma-\frac{\pi}{2}\cot{\frac{\pi p}{q}}-\ln{q}+\sum_{n=1}^{q-1} \cos\frac{2\pi n p}{q}\ln\left(2\sin\frac{\pi n}{q}\right $$ where $0<p<q$ .
