In a famous paper of $1914$ Ramanujan gave a list of $17$ extraordinary formulas for the number $\pi$. In this paper we explain a general method to prove them, based on an original idea of James Wan and in some own ideas.

We show with some examples how to prove some Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ in an elementary way by using terminating identities.

We make a summary of the different types of proofs adding some new ideas. In addition we conjecture some relations which could be necessary in "modular type proofs" (not still found) of the Ramanujan-like series for 1/\pi^2.

The known WZ-proofs for Ramanujan-type series related to $1/\pi$ gave us the insight to develop a new proof strategy based on the WZ-method. Using this approach we are able to find more generalizations and discover first WZ-proofs for…

In 1914 S. Ramanujan recorded a list of 17 series for $1/\pi$. We survey the methods of proofs of Ramanujan's formulae and indicate recently discovered generalizations, some of which are not yet proven.

We use a variant of Wan's method to prove two Ramanujan-Orr type formulas for $1/\pi$. This variant needs to know in advance the formulas for $1/\pi$ that we want to prove, but avoids the need of solving a system of equations.

In this paper we prove theorems related to the Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ (type $_3F_2$) and to the Ramanujan-like series, discovered by the author, for $1/\pi^2$ (type $_5F_4$). Our developments for the cases $_3 F_2$ and $_5 F_4$…

In this article we give the theoretical background for generating Ramanujan type $1/\pi^{2\nu}$ formulas. As applications of our method we give a general construction of $1/\pi^4$ series and examples of $1/\pi^6$ series. We also study the…

We develop an approach to establish $1/\pi$-series from bimodular forms. Utilizing this approach, we obtain new families of $2$-variable $1/\pi$-series associated to Zagier's sporadic Apery-like sequences.

We prove a Ramanujan-type formula for $520/\pi$ conjectured by Sun. Our proof begins with a hypergeometric representation of the relevant double series, which relies on a recent generating function for Legendre polynomials by Wan and…
