%N Decimal expansion of Integral_{x=0..1} Product_{k>=1} (1-x^k)^3 dx.

%C In general, Integral_{x=0..1} Product_{k>=1} (1-x^(m*k))^3 dx = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n * (2*n+1) / (m*n*(n+1)/2 + 1) is equal to

%C if 0<m<8: (2*Pi / (m * cosh(Pi/2*sqrt(8/m-1)))

%C if m = 8: Pi/4

%C if m > 8: (2*Pi / (m * cos(Pi/2*sqrt(1-8/m)))

%C Special values: m=4: Pi/(2*cosh(Pi/2)), m=9: 4*Pi/(9*sqrt(3)).
