%N Decimal expansion of sqrt(Pi/2).
%C This constant, sqrt(Pi/2), appears in one of the formulations of the Birthday Problem: An asymptotic expansion of the expected value for the average number of people required to find a pair having the same birthday out of k possible birthdays is sqrt(Pi/2)*sqrt(k) + 2/3 + 1/12*sqrt(Pi/2)*sqrt(1/k) - 4/135*1/k + ... found by the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920). - _Martin Renner_, Sep 14 2016

%F Equals Integral_{x >= 0} sin(x)/sqrt(x) dx [see Gradsteyn and Ryzhik].
%F Equals Integral_{x >= 0} cos(x)/sqrt(x) dx [see Gradsteyn and Ryzhik]. (End)
