COMMENTS
Also Gamma(1/2). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 07 2006
The integral of the Gaussian function exp(-x^2) over the real line. - Richard Chapling (r.chappers(AT)gmail.com), Jun 05 2008
Also equals the average distance between two points in two dimensions where coordinates are independent normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1. - Jean-François Alcover, Oct 31 2014, after Steven Finch
Also diameter of a sphere whose surface area equals Pi^2. More generally, the square root of x is also the diameter of a sphere whose surface area equals x*Pi. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 11 2018
