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

sqrt(Pi) = (1/2)*Sum_{n>=0} ((-1)^n * (4*n+1) * (1/8)^(n+1) * (2^(n+1))^3 * Gamma(n+1/2)^3 / Gamma(n+1)^3). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Mar 25 2013

Also equals Integral_{x=0..1} 1/sqrt(-log(x)). - Jean-François Alcover, Apr 29 2013

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
