With offset 2, decimal expansion of 5*Pi. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 03 2013
Decimal expansion of the number of radians in a quadrant. - John W. Nicholson, Oct 07 2013
Not the same as A085679. First differing term occurs at 10^-49, as list -49, or 51st counting term (a(-49)= 5 and A085679(-49) = 4). - John W. Nicholson, Oct 07 2013
5*Pi is also the surface area of a sphere whose diameter equals the square root of 5. More generally x*Pi is also the surface area of a sphere whose diameter equals the square root of x. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 22 2013
Pi/2 is also the radius of a sphere whose surface area equals the volume of the circumscribed cube. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 27 2013

FORMULA

Pi/2 = log(i)/i, where i = sqrt(-1). - Eric Desbiaux, Jun 27 2009
Pi/2 = Product_{n>=1} (n/(n+1))^((-1)^n)) = 2 * 2/3 * 4/3 * 4/5 * 6/5 * 6/7 * 8/7 * 8/9 * 10/9 * ... (Wallis formula). - William Keith and Alonso del Arte, Jun 24 2012
The previous result is the particular case n = 1 of the more general identity: Pi/2 = 4^(n-1) * n!/(2*n)! * Sum_{k >= 2} 2^(k+1)*(k + n - 1)!*(k + 2*n - 2)!/(2*k + 2*n - 2)! valid for n = 0,1,2,... . - Peter Bala, Oct 26 2016
Pi/2 = lim_{n->oo} F(2^(n+3))/2, with one half of the area of a regular 2^(n+3)-gon, for n >= 0, inscribed in the unit circle, written as iterated square roots of 2 as F(2^(n+3))/2 = 2^n*sqrt(2 + sq2(n)), with sq2(n) = sqrt(2 + sq2(n-1)), n >= 1, with input sq2(0) = 0 (2 appears n times in sq2(n)). Viète's infinite product formula works with the partial product F(2^(n+2))/2 = Product_{j=1..n} (2/sq2(j)), n >= 1, which corresponds to the above given formula. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 06 2018
Pi/2 = Integral_{x = 0..oo} sin(x)^2/x^2 dx = 1/2 + Sum_{n >= 1} sin(n)^2/n^2, by the Abel-Plana formula. - Peter Bala, Nov 05 2019
Equals Sum_{k>=0} k!/(2*k + 1)!!.
Equals Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(k + 1/2).
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(x^2 + 1) dx.
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} sin(x)/x dx.
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} exp(x/2)/(exp(x) + 1) dx.
Equals Product_{p prime > 2} p/(p + (-1)^((p-1)/2)). (End)
Pi/2 = Integral_{x = 0..oo} 1/(1 - x^2 + x^4) dx = (1 + 2/3 + 1/5) - (1/7 + 2/9 + 1/11) + (1/13 + 2/15 + 1/17) - .... - Peter Bala, Jul 22 2022
