J. Machin (died 1751) used Pi/4 = 4*Sum_{n=0..inf} (-1)^n/((2*n+1)*5^(2*n+1)) - Sum_{n=0..inf} (-1)^n/((2*n+1)*239^(2*n+1)) to calculate Pi to 100 decimal places.

FORMULA

a(n) = 50*a(n-1) - 625*a(n-2) for n>1.
G.f.: 5*(1+25*x)/(1-25*x)^2.
(End)
E.g.f.: 5*(1 + 50*x)*exp(25*x).
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = arctanh(1/5) = 0.2027325540540821...
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = arctan(1/5) = A105532 (End)
