COMMENTS

Circle packing density.

The number gives the areal coverage (90.68.. percent) of the close hexagonal (densest) packing of circles in the plane. The hexagonal unit cell is a rhombus of side length 1 and height sqrt(3)/2; the area of the unit cell is sqrt(3)/2 and the four parts of circles add to an area of one circle of radius 1/2, which is Pi/4. - R.

FORMULA

Pi/(2*Sqrt[3]) = (5/6)(7/6)(11/12)(13/12)(17/18)(19/18)(23/24)(29/30)(31/30)..., where the numerators are primes > 3 and the denominators are the nearest multiples of 6.

Equals sum_{n>=1} 1/A134667(n). [Jolley]

Equals sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/A124647(n) [Jolley eq 271]
