The hyperbolic volume of the knot complement of a hyperbolic knot is a knot
invariant. Adams (1994) lists the hyperbolic volumes for knots
and links.
The knot complement of the figure
eight knot has hyperbolic volume
(OEIS A091518; Borwein and Bailey 2003, p. 89), where
is Clausen's integral. No closed forms are known
for most (if not all) others.
