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 $(1,1,1)$, $(1,-1,-1)$, $(-1,1,-1)$, $(-1,-1,1)$....

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

Are traditional notations for elliptic integrals/functions in Latin or Greek letters?
I am doing some calculation involving elliptic integrals/functions, and find the notations confusing.
In Wittaker-Watson, the "Jacobi's earlier notation" H(u) is called the Eta-function, so the "H" ...
