A closed form for infinite series $ sum _1 ^infty frac {1}{n^3} = zeta (3) ?$
$begingroup$
It is well known that $$ sum _1 ^infty frac {1}{n^2} = frac {pi ^2}{6}$$ and $$ sum _1 ^infty frac {1}{n^4} = frac {pi ^4}{90}$$
We also know that $$ sum _1 ^infty frac {1}{n^3} $$
$$=1.202056903159594285399738161511449990764986292340498881.....$$
My question is:
Do we have a closed form for this series besides $$ sum _1 ^infty frac {1}{n^3} = zeta (3) ?$$

Apéry's Constant
As mentioned in comments
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac1{n^3}=zeta(3)tag1
$$
is also known as Apéry's Constant. There is no closed form in terms of a rational multiple of an integer power of $pi$.
We also have
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac1{(2n-1)^3}=frac78zeta(3)tag2
$$
However, as shown in this answer, if we alternate the series in $(2)$, we get
$$
sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-1)^{n-1}}{(2n-1)^3}=frac{pi^3}{32}tag3
$$
which is also known as $beta(3)$, the Dirichlet beta function.
Computation of $boldsymbol{zeta(3)}$
The series in $(1)$ converges very slowly. To get the sum to about $10$ places, we would need to sum $100000$ terms.
If we use the Euler-Maclaurin Sum Formula, we get that
$$
sum_{k=1}^nfrac1{k^3}=smallzeta(3)-frac1{2n^2}+frac1{2n^3}-frac1{4n^4}+frac1{12n^6}-frac1{12n^8}+frac3{20n^{10}}-frac5{12n^{12}}+O!left(frac1{n^{14}}right)tag4
$$
Using $n=10$ in $(4)$, we get
$$
sum_{k=1}^inftyfrac1{k^3}=1.2020569031596tag5
$$

In addition to robojohn's answer, there are some formulas expressing $zeta(3)$ (and other odd zeta values) in terms of powers of $pi$, but these are not clsoed forms. The most well known ones are due to Plouffe and Borwein & Bradley:
$$
begin{aligned}
zeta(3)&=frac{7pi^3}{180}-2sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^3(e^{2pi n}-1)},\
sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^3,binom {2n}n} &= -frac{4}{3},zeta(3)+frac{pisqrt{3}}{2cdot 3^2},left(zeta(2, tfrac{1}{3})-zeta(2,tfrac{2}{3}) right).
end{aligned}
$$
Moreover, in this Math.SE post we have:
$$
frac{3}{2},zeta(3) = frac{pi^3}{24}sqrt{2}-2sum_{k=1}^infty frac{1}{k^3(e^{pi ksqrt{2}}-1)}-sum_{k=1}^inftyfrac{1}{k^3(e^{2pi ksqrt{2}}-1)}.
$$

In addition to robojohn's answer, there are some formulas expressing $zeta(3)$ (and other odd zeta values) in terms of powers of $pi$, but these are not clsoed forms. The most well known ones are due to Plouffe and Borwein & Bradley:
$$
begin{aligned}
zeta(3)&=frac{7pi^3}{180}-2sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^3(e^{2pi n}-1)},\
sum_{n=1}^infty frac{1}{n^3,binom {2n}n} &= -frac{4}{3},zeta(3)+frac{pisqrt{3}}{2cdot 3^2},left(zeta(2, tfrac{1}{3})-zeta(2,tfrac{2}{3}) right).
end{aligned}
$$
Moreover, in this Math.SE post we have:
$$
frac{3}{2},zeta(3) = frac{pi^3}{24}sqrt{2}-2sum_{k=1}^infty frac{1}{k^3(e^{pi ksqrt{2}}-1)}-sum_{k=1}^inftyfrac{1}{k^3(e^{2pi ksqrt{2}}-1)}.
$$
You can also check out this paper by Vepstas, which provides a nice generalization to some of these identities.
