How did Ramanujan find $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{(1/2)_n(1/4)_n(3/4)_n}{n!^3}\frac{644n+41}{25920^n}=\frac{288\sqrt{5}}{5\pi}?$
The formula
$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{(1/2)_n(1/4)_n(3/4)_n}{n!^3}\frac{644n+41}{25920^n}=\frac{288\sqrt{5}}{5\pi}$$
(in older notation) appears as eq. 38 in Ramanujan's paper Modular equations ...

How to write the division values of $\operatorname{sn}(u;k)$ as rational functions of theta functions with zero argument?
Define the "thetanulls" (theta functions (https://dlmf.nist.gov/20) with one argument equal to zero) as follows:
$$\vartheta_{00}(w) = \prod_{n = 1}^{\infty} (1-w^{2n})(1+w^{2n-1})^2,$$

Some Log integrals related to Gamma value
Two years ago I evaluated some integrals related to $\Gamma(1/4)$.
First example:

Numerically compute the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to the square
I want to map the upper-half plane $$\mathbb H:=\{z\in\mathbb C:\Im(z)>0\}$$ to $[0,1)^2$ by a conformal map. If I got this right, then such a mapping is given by the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to ...

What is the surface area of the finite part of the Cayley nodal cubic surface?
The Cayley nodal surface is defined by the equation $x^2+y^2+z^2-2xyz=1$. The finite part of the surface is the tetrahedral part bounded by the 4 nodes $(1,1,1)$, $(1,-1,-1)$, $(-1,1,-1)$, $(-1,-1,1)$....

To integrate elliptic integral, we glue two Riemann surface to make torus
To deal with elliptic integral, we often cut riemann surface and glue them together, and gain a torus. We do this in order to avoid indeterminacy of integral, in other word, to avoid the condition ...
