I need to calculate this sum. I am using symsum but I don't know how to specify the odds index only.

syms P a D M N
Pi = sym('pi');
w_max = 4*P*a^2/(Pi^4 * D) * symsum( symsum( 1/((M*2-1)^2+(N*2-1)^2)^2, N, 1, inf), M, 1, inf)
However, this is only able to eliminate one level of the symsum. The other is difficult to eliminate to a closed form.

The approximately 0.2825068 that shows up for the above line agrees with my calculations from another package.
Notice that you neglected 4*P*a^2/(Pi^4 * D)
