Question 1195428: Number Theory( I don't know where to put this, but since this has the symbol sigma in it, I put it here)

1. (2015 Putnam) For each positive integer k, let A(k) be the number of odd divisors of k in the interval [1, \large \sqrt{2k}]]. Evaluate
\[ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{k-1} \frac{A(k)}{k} \
