It must have been so fun to experience the very first infinite series or products for numbers like pi! For this one, I think it looks prettier to write 2 times 2, 4 times 4 etc on top - to make it look more like the denominator.
That's the way it's usually presented, and I changed it to what *i* found more aesthetically pleasing.. but hey, this is a case where we can have our π and eat it too

If I wrote 2^2, 4^2, 6^2 etc. on top I'd probably write 2^2 - 1, 4^2 - 1, 6^2 - 1 etc. on bottom, to keep up the "squaring" theme.

Ooh.. that’s good.. that’s real good
