Why faff about with the odd numbers? even² / ( even² - 1 ) gives the same result.pic.twitter.com/LYwGMM4sEv

(n-1)*(n+1)=n*n-1
This production tends very slowly to Pi
Yeah, I tried it in python, had to run 1000000 iterations before the number started to look like a low precision pi
So..... Pi is basically infinite and impossible to definitely calculate?
Infinite in that there is no end to the numbers after the decimal - it is an irrational number. As such, an exact value doesn't exist for it!
An elementary proof by John Wästlund: http://www.math.chalmers.se/~wastlund/monthly.pdf …
Wow. What a beautiful proof. The geometric construction is the clincher.
...divided by *the product* of their two adjacent odd numbers
Actually both statements are equivalent. Whether you divide by the product or by both numbers consecutively doesn’t make a difference
