FORMULA
Equals Jacobi theta_{3}(0,exp(-1)). - Jianing Song, Oct 13 2021
Equals eta(i/Pi)^5 / (eta(i/(2*Pi))*eta(2*i/Pi))^2, where eta(t) = 1 - q - q^2 + q^5 + q^7 - q^12 - q^15 + ... is the Dedekind eta function without the q^(1/24) factor in powers of q = exp(2*Pi*i*t) (Cf. A000122). - Jianing Song, Oct 14 2021
