Definition
Euler's Beta function is $B(a,b)=\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)/\Gamma(a+b)$ [1]. The parameters $a$ and $b$ are positive rationals with $a\leq b$.
Parameters
$a$
—   first parameter ($a>0$)
$b$
—   second parameter ($b\geq a$)
Formulas
(1)
$B(a,b)=\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)/\Gamma(a+b)$.
(2)
For $a>0$ and $b>0$, $B(a,b)=\int_0^1 t^{a-1}(1-t)^{b-1}\,\mathrm{d}t$.
(3)
For $a>0$ and $b>0$, $\int_0^{\pi/2}\sin^{2a-1}(\theta)\cos^{2b-1}(\theta)\,\mathrm{d}\theta =B(a,b)/2$.
(4)
For $0<a<1$, $B(a,1-a)=\pi/\sin(\pi a)$.
(5)
$B(a+1,b)=aB(a,b)/(a+b)$, and consequently $B(a,b)=B(a,b+1)+B(a+1,b)$.
(6)
For positive integers $m$ and $n$, $B(m,n)=(m-1)!(n-1)!/(m+n-1)!=1/(n\binom{m+n-1}{n})$.
(7)
$B(1/4,1/2)=2\sqrt{2}\,K(1/2)$, where $K(m)$ is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind.
Comments
(8)
The Beta function is symmetric in its two parameters. The table lists only rows with $a\leq b$; a value with $a>b$ is read by interchanging the two parameters.
(9)
The meromorphic continuation is given by the same Gamma quotient. Its pole hyperplanes are $a=0,-1,-2,\ldots$ and $b=0,-1,-2,\ldots$.
(10)
The recurrence in (5) reduces positive rational parameters greater than $2$ to values with a smaller parameter, multiplied by rational factors.
(11)
When $a$ and $b$ are rational, the integral in (2) is a period. The value $B(1/3,1/3)$ is the real period of the Dixonian elliptic functions [2], and $B(1/4,1/2)=2\varpi$ is twice the lemniscate constant $\varpi$ [4].

Similar tables
Values of the Gamma function at rational numbers —   the Beta function is a quotient of three Gamma values by (1)
Values of the arithmetic-geometric mean —   the lemniscate value $B(1/4,1/2)$ is $2\pi/\mathrm{AGM}(1,\sqrt{2})$
Complete elliptic integral of the first kind $K(m)$ —   the lemniscate value $B(1/4,1/2)$ is related to $K(1/2)$ by (7)
Rational multiples of pi —   reflection values such as $B(1/2,1/2)$ and $B(1/2,3/2)$ are rational multiples of $\pi$
Pi —   the reflection formula in (4) includes $\pi$
Data properties
Entries are of type: real number
How they were obtained:

Each value with neither parameter a positive integer was computed as a Sage real ball with arb at numberdb.bits(digits, losing=96) bits by evaluating the complete Beta function at the exact rational parameters. Values with a positive-integer parameter were returned as exact rationals using the shift recurrence in (5).

more

All entries were checked against the Gamma quotient in (1), the reflection values in (4), the three-term recurrence in (5) wherever all three rows are listed, and the decimal prefixes in [2], [3], [4] and [5].

Table is complete: no (it holds every entry with $a,b\in(0,2]$, $a\leq b$, and both parameters in lowest terms with denominator at most $6$)
