COMMENTS
The denominators of the convergents of [1/3, 4/5, 9/7, 16/9, ...]. To produce Pi the above continued fraction is used. It is formed by n^2/(2*n+1) which starts at n=1. Most numerators of continued fractions are 1 & thus are left out of the brackets. In the case of Pi they vary. Therefore here both numerators & denominators are given. The first 4 convergents are 1/3,5/19,44/160,476/1744. The value of this continued fraction is .273239... . 4*INV(1+.273239...) is Pi. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Dec 01 2008
