Volume of a cube with edge length 1 rotated about a space diagonal. See MathWorld Cube page. - Francis Wolinski, Mar 10 2019
Volume of a cone with unit radius and 60-degree opening angle, and so height sqrt(3). Equivalently, the volume of the cone formed by rotating a 30-60-90 degree triangle with unit short leg about the long leg. - Christoph B. Kassir, Sep 17 2022

FORMULA
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} x^(1/3)/(1+x^2) dx. - Jean-François Alcover, May 24 2013
Equals (3/2)*Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(1+x+x^2) dx. - Bruno Berselli, Jul 23 2013
Equals Sum_{n >= 0} (1/(6*n+1) - 4/(6*n+2) - 5/(6*n+3) - 1/(6*n+4) + 4/(6*n+5) + 5/(6*n+6)). - Mats Granvik, Sep 23 2013
Equals (1/2) * Sum_{n >= 0} (14*n + 11)*(-1/3)^n/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*binomial(4*n,2*n)). For more series representations of this type see the Bala link. - Peter Bala, Feb 04 2015

For any integer k, Pi/sqrt(3) = Sum_{n >= 0} (1/(n + k + 1/3) - 1/(n - k + 2/3)) = (1/3)*Sum_{n >= 0} (1/(n - k + 1/6) - 1/(n + k + 5/6)).
Equals (3/2)*Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n, n)). (End)
