RealDigits[HypergeometricPFQ[{1, 4/3, 5/3, 2}, {5/4, 3/2, 7/4}, 27/256] / 4, 10, 120][[1]]
Formula
Equals 4F3(1, 4/3, 5/3, 2; 5/4, 3/2, 7/4; 27/256) / 4, where 4F3 is a generalized hypergeometric function.
Equals 27*c^2/((c^2-4)*(2*c^2+1)^2) + (3*c*(c^2-1)*(2*c^2-1)/(2*(2*c^2+1)^3)) * log((c-1)/(c+1)) + (3*(c^2-1)*(2*c^4-2*c^3-7*c^2-3*c+1)/(4*c*(2*c^2+1)^3)) * (c/(c+2))^(3/2) * arctan(2*sqrt(c^2+2*c)/(c^2+2*c-1)) + (3*(c^2-1)*(2*c^4+2*c^3-7*c^2+3*c+1)/(4*c*(2*c^2+1)^3)) * (c/(c-2))^(3/2) * arctan(2*sqrt(c^2-2*c)/(c^2-2*c-1)), where c = sqrt(1 + (16/sqrt(3))*cos(arctan(sqrt(229/27))/3)) (Batir and Sofo, 2013, p. 337, Example 9).
