FORMULA

Pi = 4 * Sum_{ k >= 0} (-1)^k/(2k+1) [Madhava-Gregory-Leibniz, 1450-1671] - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 27 2013

From Johannes W. Meijer, Mar 10 2013: (Start)

2/Pi = (sqrt(2)/2) * (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2))/2) * (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))/2) * … [Viete, 1593]

2/Pi = product(k >= 1, product((4*k^2-1)/(4*k^2)) [Wallis, 1655]

Pi = 3*sqrt(3)/4 + 24*(1/12 - sum(n >= 2, (2*n-2)!/((n-1)!^2*(2*n-3)*(2*n+1)*2^(4*n-2)))) [Newton, 1666]

Pi/4 = 4*arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) [Machin, 1706]

Pi^2/6 = 3*sum(n >= 1, 1/(n^2*binomial(2*n,n))) [Euler, 1748]

1/Pi = (2*sqrt(2)/9801) * sum(n >= 0, (4*n)!*(1103+26390*n)/((n!)^4*396^(4*n))) [Ramanujan, 1914]

1/Pi = 12*sum((-1)^n*(6*n)!/((n!)^3*(3*n)!)*((13591409 + 545140134*n)/(64032^3)(n+1/2))  [David and Gregory Chudnovsky, 1989]

Pi = sum(n >= 0, (1/16^n) * (4/(8*n+1)-2/(8*n+4)-1/(8*n+5)-1/(8*n+6))) [Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe, 1989] (End)

Alexander R. Povolotsky came up with the following BBP-type formula: Pi= 2/3 * (-1 + Sum(7/(4*k+1) - 6/(4*k+3) - 1/(4*k+5),k = 0 .. infinity). J. Guillera noted: "There is an easy proof of that formula if to convert it into an integral. In doing the proof, observe that int_(0,1) x ^ (4n+a) = 1 / (4n+a+1). The proof is easy but it can be interesting if one does not know the method. The formula converges slowly because there is not a factor like for example 1/16^k." Roger Bagula tried to use this formula for generating high quality pseudo-random level results. He thinks that this formula's algorithm is faster and takes less computer memory for that (comparing with regular BBP) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Nov 30 2008]

Pi = 2/3 * (-1 + Sum(7/(4*k+1) - 6/(4*k+3) - 1/(4*k+5),k = 0 .. infinity) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Nov 30 2008]

Another (ugly) formula for Pi (in Maple syntax): Pi = 6/7*(1/3*sum((843*n + 4607)/((n+5)*(3*n+7)*(3*n+22)),n=0...infinity) - 655999/248976 - 7/2*ln(3))*sqrt(3) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 07 2008]

Pi = (4/5)*(Sum(7/(4*k+1) - 5/(4*k+3) - 2/(4*k+5),k = 0 .. infinity) -2) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 25 2008]

Pi = Sum(7/(4*k+1) - 4/(4*k+3) - 3/(4*k+5),k = 0 .. infinity) - 3 [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 25 2008]

Pi = 4*Sum(1/(4*k+1) - 1/(4*k+3),k = 0 .. infinity) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 25 2008]

pi = c + sum( k>=0, (4-c)/(4k+1) -4/(4k+3) +c/(4k+5) ) for any c. [From Jaume Oliver Lafont, Jan 11 2009]

Pi=4*sqrt(-1*(sum((I^(2*n+1))/(2*n+1),n=0...infinity)^2)) [From Alexander R. Povolotsky, Jan 25 2009]

Pi=2*n*A000111(n-1)/A000111(n) as n-->infinity (conjecture). [From Mats Granvik, Aug 12 2009]

Pi = integral_{x=-Infinity..Infinity} dx/(1+x^2). [From Mats Granvik & Gary W. Adamson, Sep 23 2012]
