I put parentheses around an upper limit of integration and put "2\phi" in place of "\2phi" in the second integral. I removed the equal sign after the final integral

an identity between two elliptic integrals

I would like a direct change of variable proof of the identity

$$\int_0^(\arctan\frac{sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{\sqrt{3}}) 1/sqrt{1-\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4}\sin^2\phi d\phi}=\int_0^\arctan\frac{1}{\sqrt{\sqrt{3}} 1/sqrt{1-\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4}\sin^22\phi d\phi}\,.$$

I need it as part of a paper on Legendre's proof of the "third singular modulus."
