    ((x),(y) = {239, 13 2} is a solution to the Pell equation x 22 y 2 = −1.) Formulae of this kind are known as Machin-like formulae . Machin's particular formula was used well into the computer era for calculating record numbers of digits of π , [ 39 ] but more recently other similar formulae have been used as well.

    is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

    If = then ⁡ is 45 degrees or radians. This means that if the real part and complex part are equal then the arctangent will equal π 4 {\textstyle {\frac {\pi }{4}}} . Since the arctangent of one has a very slow convergence rate if we find two complex numbers that when multiplied will result in the same real and imaginary part we will have a ...

    Computation of binary digits: 80 days; Conversion to base 10: 8.2 days; Verification of the conversion: 45.6 hours; Verification of the binary digits: 64 hours (Bellard formula), 66 hours (BBP formula) Verification of the binary digits were done simultaneously on two separate computers during the main computation.

    Using the P function mentioned above, the simplest known formula for π is for s = 1, but m > 1. Many now-discovered formulae are known for b as an exponent of 2 or 3 and m as an exponent of 2 or it some other factor-rich value, but where several of the terms of sequence A are zero.

    Euler's identity is also a special case of the more general identity that the n th roots of unity, for n > 1, add up to 0: = = Euler's identity is the case where n = 2. A similar identity also applies to quaternion exponential: let {i, j, k} be the basis quaternions; then,
