How to find the $\pi$? [duplicate]

We know as we increase the number of sides in regular polygon, after infinite repetition it will give us a circle. So, is there any way to find a function which approaches to value of $\pi$ when we ...

Series that converge to $\pi$ quickly

I know the series, $4-{4\over3}+{4\over5}-{4\over7}...$ converges to $\pi$ but I have heard many people say that while this is a classic example, there are series that converge much faster. Does ...

How to compute a lot of digits of $\sqrt{2}$ manually and quickly?

After having read the answers to calculating $\pi$ manually, I realised that the two fast methods (Ramanujan and Gauss–Legendre) used $\sqrt{2}$. So, I wondered how to calculate $\sqrt{2}$ manually in ...

What is known about the 'Double log Eulers constant', $\lim_{n \to \infty}{\sum_{k=2}^n\frac{1}{k\ln{k}}-\ln\ln{n}}$?

The Euler constant is defined as $$\gamma = \lim_{n \to \infty}{\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k}-\ln{n}}$$ Let $$q = \lim_{n \to \infty}{\sum_{k=2}^n\frac{1}{k\ln{k}}-\ln\ln{n}}$$ I managed to prove that \...
Pi is defined as the ratio of $\frac{c}{r}$. Many ancient scintist try to find the value of pi. Some of the values are $\frac{22}{7}$(good hold upto 10 decimal point), $\frac{355}{113}$ (good hold ...
Ways to determine $\pi$ [duplicate]
I have read that it is possible to determine the value of a single digit, say the 874th of $\pi$. I know that it is a trascentental number, how is that possible? How many ways are there to determine ...
