Successive approximations of $\pi$ using Euler Beta functions

Abstract

In this didactic note, we describe a procedure to derive successive approximations of π\pi using Euler Beta functions. It is an interesting exercise for undergraduate students, since it involves polynomial roots, integral calculations, inequalities and Euler Beta functions.
