    The symbol means that the ratio of the left-hand side and the right-hand side tends to one as . The symbol ≃ {\displaystyle \simeq } means that the difference between the left-hand side and the right-hand side tends to zero as n → ∞ {\displaystyle n\to \infty } .

  3. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    The formula is a special case of the Euler–Boole summation formula for alternating series, providing yet another example of a convergence acceleration technique that can be applied to the Leibniz series. In 1992, Jonathan Borwein and Mark Limber used the first thousand Euler numbers to calculate π to 5,263 decimal places with the Leibniz ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    In mathematics, a negative number is the opposite of a positive real number. [1] Equivalently, a negative number is a real number that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency. A debt that is owed may be thought of as a negative asset.

    In other words, the n th digit of this number is 1 only if n is one of 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, 4! = 24, etc. Liouville showed that this number belongs to a class of transcendental numbers that can be more closely approximated by rational numbers than can any irrational algebraic number, and this class of numbers is called the Liouville numbers ...

    This does not admit obvious generalizations in the integers, [clarification needed] because there are only finitely many Heegner numbers and negative discriminants d with class number h(−d) = 1, and d = 163 is the largest one in absolute value. accurate to 52 decimal places: ⁡ ((+) +) Like the one above, a consequence of the j-invariant ...

  9. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    In fact, all square roots of natural numbers, other than of perfect squares, are irrational. [2] Like all real numbers, irrational numbers can be expressed in positional notation, notably as a decimal number. In the case of irrational numbers, the decimal expansion does not terminate, nor end with a repeating sequence.
