When Wolfram Alpha is asked to evaluate 

sum  sin(k*x) / k^3,k=1 to infinity 

it produces
 
 1/2 i (Li_3(e^(-i x)) - Li_3(e^(i x)))
 
When it's asked to

plot   1/2 i (Li_3(e^(-i x)) - Li_3(e^(i x))), x=0 to 400

the graph seems to vary only between -1 and 1.


It seems to reach a local maximum of 1 at about 4003.7, for example, when plotting between x=4002 and 4005.
