The theory of theta functions is used to derive hypergeometric transformation formulas of degrees 3, 7, 11 and 23. As a consequence of the theory that is developed, some new series for 1/π are obtained that are similar to a class investigated by Ramanujan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
