%N A278144 Decimal expansion of (sqrt(Pi)/(2^(1/4)*Gamma(5/8)*Gamma(7/8)))^2.
%C A278144 This is the value of hypergeometric([1/4,1/4],[1],-1)^2. See A278143/A241756 for the partial sums of the hypergeometric series hypergeometric([1/2/,1/2,1/2],[1,1],-1) which has this value due to Clausen's formula. See the Hardy reference, p. 106, eq. (7.4.4) where this value is written as (Gamma(9/8)/(Gamma(5/4)*Gamma(7/8)))^2.
