Indian Physicists stumble upon a new Series for π

[imhotep]

While investigating how string theory can be used to explain certain physical phenomena, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have stumbled upon on a new series representation for the irrational number π. It provides an easier way to extract π from calculations involved in deciphering processes like the quantum scattering of high-energy particles.

The new formula under a certain limit closely reaches the representation of π suggested by Indian mathematician Sangamagrama Madhava in the 15th century, which was the first ever series for π recorded in history.

ඕක තමයි කියන්නේ එකට බිව්වත් බොක්ක වෙනස් කියලා බන්.

I don't understand either. You got to be a real mathematician to understand what it is... It uses the ratio of Gamma functions. Here's an explanatory video.

I am tired of this π

If you get too tired just remember the following phrase...

15 digits (3.14159265358979) of π is "How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics,"
A slight extension of this adds the phrase "All of thy geometry, Herr Planck, is fairly hard," giving 24 digits in all (3.14159265358979323846264). Another extension adds instead the phrase "and if the lectures were boring or tiring, then any odd thinking was on quartic equations again," giving 32 digits (3.1415926535897932384626433832795) of π.
