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 ...

Ellipsoidal harmonics - A Series expansion for Lame functions of the second kind
$\underline{Intro \;to \;skip}$
In the theory of ellipsoidal harmonics, Lame functions of the second kind $F_n$ arise as the second linearly independent solution (the first being Lame functions of ...
