Application of a new iterative formula for computing $\pi$ and nested radicals with roots of $2$

General Mathematics 2025-11-25 v3

Abstract

In this work, we obtain an iterative formula that can be used for computing digits of π\pi and nested radicals of kind cn/2cn1c_n/\sqrt{2 - c_{n - 1}}, where c0=0c_0 = 0 and cn=2+cn1c_n = \sqrt{2 + c_{n - 1}}. We also show how with the help of this iterative formula, the two-term Machin-like formulas for π\pi can be generated and approximated. Some examples with Mathematica codes are presented.
