%N Decimal expansion of Gamma(1/4)^4/(4*Pi^3).

%C Watson's first triple integral.

%C This is also the value of F. Morley's series from 1902 Sum_{k=0..n} (risefac(k,1/2)/k!)^3 = hypergeometric([1/2,1/2,1/2],[1,1],1) with the rising factorial risefac(n,x). See A277232, also for the Hardy reference and a MathWorld link. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 11 2016

%F From _Joerg Arndt_, Nov 27 2010: (Start)

%F Equals 1/agm(1,sqrt(1/2))^2.

%F Equals Gamma(1/4)^4 / (4*Pi^3) = Pi / (Gamma(3/4))^4 = hypergeom([1/2,1/2],[1],1/2)^2, see the two Abramowitz - Stegun references. (End)

%F Equals the square of A175574. Equals A000796/A068465^4. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jun 17 2016

%F Equals hypergeom([1/2,1/2,1/2],[1,1],1) - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 12 2016

%F Equals Sum_{k>=0} binomial(2*k,k)^3/2^(6*k). - _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 26 2020
