Concerning this $sum_{n=0}^{infty}{2n+3choose n+1} left(frac{1}{2^n}cdotfrac{3}{2n+1}right)^3$ [closed]
$begingroup$
Apparently this sum has this closed form,
$$sum_{n=0}^{infty}{2n+3choose n+1} left(frac{1}{2^n}cdotfrac{3}{2n+1}right)^3=248+sqrt{8}left[36G+3pi(3ln{2}-5)-64right]$$
where $G$ is Catalan's constant.
Is this correct?

Mathematica can evaluate your series, hence those more experienced than I can probably derive it from basic principles. We have,
$$sum_{n=0}^{infty}{2n+3choose n+1} left(frac{1}{2^n}cdotfrac{3}{2n+1}right)^3=248-128sqrt2-48sqrt2pi+216A+4Btag1$$
where $A,B$ are generalized hypergeometric functions given by,
$$A=,_3F_2left(tfrac12,tfrac12,tfrac12;tfrac32,tfrac32;tfrac12right) = frac{4G+piln2}{4sqrt2}$$
$$B=,_3F_2left(tfrac32,tfrac32,tfrac32;tfrac52,tfrac52;tfrac12right) = frac{9(-4G-piln2+2pi)}{2sqrt2}$$
Substituting $A,B$ into $(1)$, we get,
$$sum_{n=0}^{infty}{2n+3choose n+1} left(frac{1}{2^n}cdotfrac{3}{2n+1}right)^3=248+2sqrt{2}left[36G+3pi(3ln{2}-5)-64right]tag2$$
which agrees with your post.
