  2. List of formulae involving π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_formulae_involving_π

    More formulas of this nature can be given, as explained by Ramanujan's theory of elliptic functions to alternative bases. Perhaps the most notable hypergeometric inversions are the following two examples, involving the Ramanujan tau function τ {\displaystyle \tau } and the Fourier coefficients j {\displaystyle \mathrm {j} } of the J-invariant ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    It can be seen that as N gets larger (1 + ⁠ iπ / N ⁠) N approaches a limit of −1. Euler's identity asserts that e i π {\displaystyle e^{i\pi }} is equal to −1. The expression e i π {\displaystyle e^{i\pi }} is a special case of the expression e z {\displaystyle e^{z}} , where z is any complex number .

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number

    For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number, but it is not a transcendental number as it is a root of the polynomial equation x 2 − 2 = 0. The golden ratio (denoted φ {\displaystyle \varphi } or ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } ) is another irrational number that is not transcendental, as it is a root of the polynomial equation x 2 − ...

  7. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    But a sequence of numbers greater than or equal to | | cannot converge to Since f 1 / 2 ( 1 4 π ) = cos ⁡ 1 2 π = 0 , {\displaystyle f_{1/2}({\tfrac {1}{4}}\pi )=\cos {\tfrac {1}{2}}\pi =0,} it follows from claim 3 that 1 16 π 2 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{16}}\pi ^{2}} is irrational and therefore that π {\displaystyle \pi } is irrational.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    PiFast can also compute other irrational numbers like e and √ 2. It can also work at lesser efficiency with very little memory (down to a few tens of megabytes to compute well over a billion (10 9) digits). This tool is a popular benchmark in the overclocking community. PiFast 4.4 is available from Stu's Pi page. PiFast 4.3 is available from ...

  9. Liu Hui's π algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Hui's_π_algorithm

    The area within a circle is equal to the radius multiplied by half the circumference, or A = r x C /2 = r x r x π.. Liu Hui argued: "Multiply one side of a hexagon by the radius (of its circumcircle), then multiply this by three, to yield the area of a dodecagon; if we cut a hexagon into a dodecagon, multiply its side by its radius, then again multiply by six, we get the area of a 24-gon; the ...
