Robert Israel: >Of course there's also >pi = ((-1)^(n+1) 2 Zeta(2 n) (2 n)! /bernoulli(2 n))^(1/(2 n))/2 >so >pi ~= ((-1)^(n+1) 2 (1 + 2^{-2n} + ...) (2 n)! /bernoulli(2 n))^(1/(2 n))/2 Apropos Zeta, what about a formula with Zeta(1/2)? Ok, here is the full story: http://www.luschny.de/math/euler/GammaQuotientsAsRadicals.html Peter
