    is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)

  3. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler . It is a special case of Euler's formula e i x = cos ⁡ x + i sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} when evaluated for x = π {\displaystyle x=\pi } .

  4. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    In mathematics, the Leibniz formula for π, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that = + + = = +,. an alternating series.. It is sometimes called the Madhava–Leibniz series as it was first discovered by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama or his followers in the 14th–15th century (see Madhava series), [1] and was later independently rediscovered by James Gregory in ...

  5. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    A sphere rotating around an axis. Points farther from the axis move faster, satisfying ω = v / r.. In physics, angular frequency (symbol ω), also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate (the angle per unit time) or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function (for example, in oscillations and waves).

  6. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

    Subtracting ⁡ from both sides and dividing by 2 by two yields the power-reduction formula for sine: ⁡ = (⁡ ()). The half-angle formula for sine can be obtained by replacing θ {\displaystyle \theta } with θ / 2 {\displaystyle \theta /2} and taking the square-root of both sides: sin ⁡ ( θ / 2 ) = ± ( 1 − cos ⁡ θ ) / 2 ...

  8. Radian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian

    A similar calculation using the area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r 2 gives 1 radian as 1 m 2 /m 2 = 1. [10] The key fact is that the radian is a dimensionless unit equal to 1. In SI 2019, the SI radian is defined accordingly as 1 rad = 1. [11] It is a long-established practice in mathematics and across all areas of science to make use of rad ...

  9. Circumference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumference

    Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter: [4] =. Or, equivalently, as the ratio of the circumference to twice the radius . The above formula can be rearranged to solve for the circumference: C = π ⋅ d = 2 π ⋅ r . {\displaystyle {C}=\pi \cdot {d}=2\pi \cdot {r}.\!}
