Let f(z) = \prod\limits_{n = 1}^{\infty}(1 - nz^n)

Prove that each point on the unit circle is an accumulation point of zeros of f

So we have that z = \sqrt[n]{1/n}. Now where do I go from here?

Probably should note that this is a Weierstrass Product.

The set of all zeros in of f(z) is \{\sqrt[n]{1/n} e^{i2\pi\frac{k}{n}}|n,k\in Z_+\}, now for any z=e^{i\phi} on unit circle, there exit n, k such that \sqrt[n]{1/n} e^{i2\pi\frac{k}{n}} is close enough to z=e^{i\phi} in both amplitude and phase ...
 
By phase, you mean argument?
 
yes, I'm an electrical engineer :)

Ok thanks. That problem was relatively easy.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
