Summation: $x+ sum _{ n=1 }^{ infty }{ frac { (-1)^{n-1} (2n-3) (2n-5)cdots 5cdot 3cdot 1}{ 2^{n} n!...
$begingroup$
I have to calculate:
$$x+ sum _{ n=1 }^{ infty }{ frac { (-1)^{n-1} (2n-3) (2n-5)cdots 5cdot 3cdot 1}{ 2^{n} n! (2n+1)}x^{2n+1} } $$
We have:
$$(2n-3)!! = frac{(2n-2)!!}{(2n-2)!!}(2n-3)!! = frac{(2n-2)!}{(2n-2)!!} = frac{(2n-2)!}{2^{n-1}(n-1)!}$$
So, the expression in the series is:
$$sum_{ngeq 1} (-1)^{n-1} frac{(2n-2)!}{n!(n-1)! 2^{2n-1}(2n+1)}x^{2n+1} = -2xsum_{ngeq 0} binom{2n}{n}frac{1}{(n+1)(2n+3)}left(-frac{x^2}{4}right)^{n+1}$$
By the ratio test, the series converges when $x^2 < 1$.
We now evaluate the series:
$$S(v) = sum_{ngeq 0}v^{n+1} binom{2n}{n} frac{1}{n+1} = int sum_{ngeq 0} v^n binom{2n}{n}~dv=int frac{1}{sqrt{1-4v}}~dv=- frac12sqrt{1-4v}$$
Letting $v = -x^2/4$ afterwards will give us an expression for the series $S(u)$.
But now I am stuck.

Instead of using $v^{n+1}$, it would have been best to use $v^{2n+1}$. You almost got it; here is a complete solution:
The following is a well-know Taylor series:
$$sum_{n=0}^infty binom{2n}{n}x^{2n+1}=frac{x}{sqrt{1-4x^2}}$$
Integrating both sides of this equation yields the equation
$$sum_{n=0}^infty binom{2n}{n}frac{x^{2n+2}}{2n+2}=frac{1-sqrt{1-4x^2}}{4}$$
and integrating both sides of this equation gives us
$$sum_{n=0}^infty binom{2n}{n}frac{x^{2n+3}}{(2n+2)(2n+3)}=frac{4x-2xsqrt{1-4x^2}-arcsin(2x)}{16}$$
Multiplying both sides by $2$ and making an appropriate substitution with $x$ will give you the desired result.
