From _Peter Bala_, Nov 16 2016: (Start)
Case n = 1. Pi/3 = 18 * Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(k+1)( 1/((6*k - 5)*(6*k + 1)*(6*k + 7)) + 1/((6*k - 1)*(6*k + 5)*(6*k + 11)) ).
Using the methods of Borwein et al. we can find the following asymptotic expansion for the tails of this series: for N divisible by 6 there holds Sum_{k >= N/6} (-1)^(k+1)( 1/((6*k - 5)*(6*k + 1)*(6*k + 7)) + 1/((6*k - 1)*(6*k + 5)*(6*k + 11)) ) ~ 1/N^3 + 6/N^5 + 1671/N ^7 - 241604/N^9 + ..., where the sequence [1, 0, 6, 0, 1671, 0, -241604, 0, ...] is the sequence of coefficients in the expansion of ((1/18)*cosh(2*x)/cosh(3*x)) * sinh(3*x)^2 = x^2/2! + 6*x^4/4! + 1671*x^6/6! - 241604*x^8/8! + ....

Product_{k >= 1}(1-(6k)^(-2))^(-1). - Fred Daniel Kline, May 30 2013
From Peter Bala, Feb 05 2015: (Start)
Pi/3 = Sum {k >= 0} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/16)^k = 2F1(1/2,1/2;3/2;1/4). Similar series expansions hold for Pi^2 (A002388), Pi^3 (A091925) and Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) (A093954.)
The integer sequences A(n) := 4^n*(2*n + 1)! and B(n) := A(n)*( Sum {k = 0..n} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/16)^k ) both satisfy the second-order recurrence equation u(n) = (20*n^2 + 4*n + 1)*u(n-1) - 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3*u(n-2). From this observation we can obtain the continued fraction expansion Pi/3 = 1 + 1/(24 - 8*3^3/(89 - 8*2*5^3/(193 - 8*3*7^3/(337 - ... - 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3/((20*n^2 + 4*n + 1) - ... ))))). Cf. A002388 and A093954. (End)
Equals Sum_{k >= 1} arctan(sqrt(3)*L(2k)/L(4k)) where L=A000032. See also A005248 and A056854. - Michel Marcus, Mar 29 2016
Equals Product_{n >= 1} A016910(n) / A136017(n). - Fred Daniel Kline, Jun 09 2016
Equals Integral_{x=-oo..oo} sech(x)/3 dx. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 09 2016
From Peter Bala, Nov 16 2016: (Start)
Euler's series transformation applied to the series representation Pi/3 = Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k/(6*k + 1) + (-1)^k/(6*k + 5) given above by Greathouse produces the faster converging series Pi/3 = (1/2) * Sum_{n >= 0} 3^n*n!*( 1/(Product_{k = 0..n} (6*k + 1)) + 1/(Product_{k = 0..n} (6*k + 5)) ).
The series given above by Greathouse is the case n = 0 of the more general result Pi/3 = 9^n*(2*n)! * Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(k+n)*( 1/(Product_{j = -n..n} (6*k + 1 + 6*j)) + 1/(Product_{j = -n..n} (6*k + 5 + 6*j)) ) for n = 0,1,2,.... Cf. A003881. See the example section for notes on the case n = 1.(End)
Equals Product_{p>=5, p prime} p/sqrt(p^2-1). - Dimitris Valianatos, May 13 2017
Equals A019699/4 or A019693/2. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 17 2019
Equals Integral_{x >= 0} (sin(x)/x)^4 = 1/2 + Sum_{n >= 0} (sin(n)/n)^4, by the Abel-Plana formula. - Peter Bala, Nov 05 2019
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(1 + x^6) dx. - Bernard Schott, Mar 12 2022
Pi/3 = -Sum_{n >= 1} i/(n*P(n, 1/sqrt(-3))*P(n-1, 1/sqrt(-3))), where i = sqrt(-1) and P(n, x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. The first twenty terms of the series gives the approximation Pi/3 = 1.04719755(06...) correct to 8 decimal places. - Peter Bala, Mar 16 2024
Equals Integral_{x >= 0} (2*x^2 + 1)/((x^2 + 1)*(4*x^2 + 1)) dx. - Peter Bala, Feb 12 2025
