We consider an infinite series, due to Ramanujan, which converges to a simple expression involving the natural logarithm. We show that Ramanujan’s series represents a completely monotone function, and explore some of its consequences, including a non-trivial family of inequalities satisfied by the natural logarithm, some formulas for the Euler–Mascheroni constant, and a recurrence satisfied by the Bernoulli numbers. We also provide a one-parameter generalization of Ramanujan’s series, which includes as a special case another related infinite series evaluation due to Ramanujan.
