How can I evaluate $\prod_{j=1}^{n-1}\sin\left(\frac{\pi j}{2 n}\right)$ ? I know that without the factor $2$ one can take advantage of the roots of the unity, but in this case only the roots with positive imaginary parts are to be considered.

Thanks in advance.

    It's the square root of $\prod_{j=1}^{2n-1}\sin(j\pi/2n)$. Can you do that one? – Angina Seng Jun 27 '18 at 15:05
  • I can solve the productory you write, though it's not obvious to me that my expression is the square root of this one. – Graz Jun 27 '18 at 15:32

    @GrazianoAmati Notice that the sin values are reflected across $\pi/2$. Therefore, the product from $j = 1 \to n-1$ is the same as the product from $j = n+1 \to 2n-1$ – John Lou Jun 27 '18 at 15:40
