Estimating $\pi$ Find the sum of the first six terms of the series $$\frac{\pi^{4}}{90}=\frac{1}{1^{4}}+\frac{1}{2^{4}}+\frac{1}{3^{4}}+\frac{1}{4^{4}}+\frac{1}{5^{4}}+\dots+\frac{1}{n^{4}}+\dots$$ presented in Example $6 .$ Use your result to estimate $\pi$. Compare your answer with the actual value of $\pi$.
