  2. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    Consider all cells (x, y) in which both x and y are integers between − r and r. Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0, 0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r 2 to find the approximation of π. For example, if r is 5, then the cells ...

  3. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    In mathematics, the Leibniz formula for π, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that = + + = = +,. an alternating series.. It is sometimes called the Madhava–Leibniz series as it was first discovered by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama or his followers in the 14th–15th century (see Madhava series), [1] and was later independently rediscovered by James Gregory in ...

  4. Dilogarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilogarithm

    The dilogarithm along the real axis. In mathematics, the dilogarithm (or Spence's function), denoted as Li 2 (z), is a particular case of the polylogarithm.Two related special functions are referred to as Spence's function, the dilogarithm itself:

  5. Pi function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_function

    In mathematics, at least four different functions are known as the pi or Pi function: (pi function) – the prime-counting function()(Pi function) – the gamma function when offset to coincide with the factorial

  6. Proof that 22/7 exceeds π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_22/7_exceeds_π

    Proofs of the mathematical result that the rational number ⁠ 22 / 7 ⁠ is greater than π (pi) date back to antiquity. One of these proofs, more recently developed but requiring only elementary techniques from calculus, has attracted attention in modern mathematics due to its mathematical elegance and its connections to the theory of Diophantine approximations.

  7. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    A Turing machine that decides L R is called a verifier for L and a y such that (x, y) ∈ R is called a certificate of membership of x in L. Not all verifiers must be polynomial-time. However, for L to be in NP, there must be a verifier that runs in polynomial time.

  8. Ramanujan–Sato series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan–Sato_series

    In mathematics, a Ramanujan–Sato series [1] [2] generalizes Ramanujan’s pi formulas such as, = = ()!! + to the form = = + by using other well-defined sequences of integers obeying a certain recurrence relation, sequences which may be expressed in terms of binomial coefficients (), and ,, employing modular forms of higher levels.

  9. Gelfond's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelfond's_constant

    The number e π − π is also very close to an integer, its decimal expansion being given by: . e π − π = 19.999 099 979 189 475 767 26... (sequence A018938 in the OEIS). The explanation for this seemingly remarkable coincidence was given by A. Doman in September 2023, and is a result of a sum related to Jacobi theta functions as follows: = =
