SUMMARY
The volume of a 3-torus is determined by the product of the circumferences in its three dimensions, as discussed in the context of topology. While the topology of a torus does not fix its volume, the formula for a flat 3-torus can be derived similarly to the general formula for the volume of an n-ball. The discussion highlights the need for a clear understanding of both topology and geometric properties when calculating volumes in higher dimensions.
