%N Decimal expansion of 1 + sqrt(3).
%C 1 + sqrt(3) is the length of the minimal Steiner network that connects the four vertices of a unit square. - _Lekraj Beedassy_, May 02 2008
%C This is the case n = 12 in the identity (Gamma(1/n)/Gamma(3/n))*(Gamma((n-1)/n)/Gamma((n-3)/n)) = 1 + 2*cos(2*Pi/n). - _Bruno Berselli_, Dec 14 2012
%C Equals n + n/(n + n/(n + n/(n + ...))) for n = 2. - _Stanislav Sykora_, Jan 23 2014
