#### Abstract

We aim at deriving Gauss's second summation theorem for the series $_2F_1(1/2)$ by using Euler's integral representation for $_2F_1$. It seems that this method of proof has not been tried.

#### Keywords

generalized hypergeometric series $_pF_q$;Gauss's second summation theorem for $_2F_1(1/2)$;Beta function
