FORMULA
Sqrt(Pi*e/2) = A + B with A = 1 + 1/(1*3) + 1/(1*3*5) + 1/(1*3*5*7) + 1/(1*3*5*7*9) + ... = 1.410686134... (see A060196) and B = 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 2/(1 + 3/(1 + 4/(1 + 5/(1 + ...)))))) = 0.65567954241... (see A108088) - (S. Ramanujan)
Equals (sqrt(2)*exp(1/4)*(sum(n>=0, n!/(2*n)! ) - 1))/erf(1/2). - Jean-François Alcover, Mar 22 2013
