In the present report the author presents a simple and systematically defined formula for the fine structure constant based only on the number $\pi$. The difference between the suggested value and the currently known experimental one is…
It is well known that the set of origami constructible numbers is larger than the classical straight-edge and compass constructible numbers. However, the Huzita-Justin-Hatori origami constructible numbers remain algebraic so that the…
We describe how to compute very far decimals of $$\pi$$ and how to provide formal guarantees that the decimals we compute are correct. In particular, we report on an experiment where 1 million decimals of $$\pi$$ and the billionth…
We have rediscovered a simple algorithm to compute the mathematical constant \[ \pi=3.14159265\cdots. \] The algorithm had been known for a long time but it might not be recognized as a fast, practical algorithm. The time complexity of it…
An algorithm for computing /pi(N) is presented.It is shown that using a symmetry of natural numbers we can easily compute /pi(N).This method relies on the fact that counting the number of odd composites not exceeding N suffices to calculate…
An investigation of the comparative efficiency of the different methods in which {\pi} is cal- culated. This thesis will compare and contrast five different methods in calculating {\pi} by first deriving the various proofs to each method…
In this work, we consider the properties of the two-term Machin-like formula and develop an algorithm for computing digits of $\pi$ by using its rational approximation. In this approximation, both terms are constructed by using a…
We joke about how to compute (promptly) the digits of $\pi$, in base 5, from a given place without computing preceding ones.
In this Note, we start off with the primary representation of e and from there present an elementary short proof for the Wallis formula for $\pi$.
There is little known about the methods used by the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians to arrive at their recorded estimates of the value of Pi. A surprisingly accurate estimate of Pi was recently revealed coded within a verse in the book of…
We present a simple recurrent formula to generate the Machin-like expression for calculating $\pi/4$. The method works for any denominator in the starting term and always provides a finite decomposition. We show that the terms in the…
This short note delivers, via elementary calculations, a product representation of pi.
We highlight the fact that in undergraduate calculus, the number pi is defined via the length of the circle, the length of the circle is defined as a certain value of an inverse trigonometric function, and this value is defined via pi, thus…
A method of obtaining the number pi is considered, which derives pi from the number of elastic collisions between two blocks and a wall.
An application of (iterated) Bauer-Muir acceleration can give an Ap\'ery-like continued fraction for $\pi$ with irrational coefficients, and much faster convergence. It can be considered a generalized continued fraction with the same matrix…
We obtained a new formula for $\pi$.
In this work, we develop a new iterative method for computing the digits of $\pi$ by argument reduction of the tangent function. This method combines a modified version of the iterative formula for $\pi$ with squared convergence that we…
By employing certain extended classical summation theorems, several surprising \pi and other formulae are displayed.
\begin{abstract} $\pi$, the ratio between a circumference and is radius, is an irrational transcendental number. Fractal analysis is used here to show that $\pi$\textquoteright{s} digit sequence corresponds to a uniformly distributed random…
In this article, we give another visual proof of $\pi^e < e^\pi$.
