Sometimes called Archimedes's constant.
Ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
Also area of a circle with radius 1.
Also surface area of a sphere with diameter 1.
A useful mnemonic for remembering the first few terms: How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics ...
Also ratio of surface area of sphere to one of the faces of the circumscribed cube. Also ratio of volume of a sphere to one of the six inscribed pyramids in the circumscribed cube. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 09 2012
Also surface area of a quarter of a sphere of radius 1. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 03 2013
Also the area under the peak-shaped even function f(x)=1/cosh(x). Proof: for the upper half of the integral, write f(x) = (2*exp(-x))/(1+exp(-2x)) = 2*Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*exp(-(2k+1)*x) and integrate term by term from zero to infinity. The result is twice the Gregory series for Pi/4. - Stanislav Sykora, Oct 31 2013
A curiosity: a 144 X 144 magic square of 7th powers was recently constructed by Toshihiro Shirakawa. The magic sum = 3141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105, which is the concatenation of the first 52 digits of Pi. See the MultiMagic Squares link for details. - Christian Boyer, Dec 13 2013 [Comment revised by N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 27 2014]
x*Pi is also the surface area of a sphere whose diameter equals the square root of x. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 25 2013
Also diameter of a sphere whose surface area equals the volume of the circumscribed cube. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 13 2014
From Daniel Forgues, Mar 20 2015: (Start)
An interesting anecdote about the base-10 representation of Pi, with 3 (integer part) as first (index 1) digit:
358 0
359 3
360 6
361 0
362 0
And the circle is customarily subdivided into 360 degrees (although Pi radians yields half the circle)...
(End)
Sometimes referred to as Archimedes's constant, because the Greek mathematician computed lower and upper bounds of Pi by drawing regular polygons inside and outside a circle. In Germany it was called the Ludolphian number until the early 20th century after the Dutch mathematician Ludolph van Ceulen (1540-1610) who calculated up to 35 digits of Pi in the late 16th century. - Martin Renner, Sep 07 2016
As of the beginning of 2019 more than 22 trillion decimal digits of Pi are known. See the Wikipedia article "Chronology of computation of Pi". - Harvey P. Dale, Jan 23 2019
On March 14, 2019, Emma Haruka Iwao announced the calculation of 31.4 trillion digits of Pi using Google Cloud's infrastructure. - David Radcliffe, Apr 10 2019
Also volume of three quarters of a sphere of radius 1. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 16 2019

FORMULA

Pi = 4*Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(2k+1) [Madhava-Gregory-Leibniz, 1450-1671]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 27 2013
From Johannes W. Meijer, Mar 10 2013: (Start)
2/Pi = (sqrt(2)/2) * (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2))/2) * (sqrt(2 + sqrt(2 + sqrt(2)))/2) * ... [Viete, 1593]
2/Pi = Product_{k>=1} (4*k^2-1)/(4*k^2). [Wallis, 1655]
Pi = 3*sqrt(3)/4 + 24*(1/12 - Sum_{n>=2} (2*n-2)!/((n-1)!^2*(2*n-3)*(2*n+1)*2^(4*n-2))). [Newton, 1666]
Pi/4 = 4*arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239). [Machin, 1706]
Pi^2/6 = 3*Sum_{n>=1} 1/(n^2*binomial(2*n,n)). [Euler, 1748]
1/Pi = (2*sqrt(2)/9801) * Sum_{n>=0} (4*n)!*(1103+26390*n)/((n!)^4*396^(4*n)). [Ramanujan, 1914]
1/Pi = 12*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*(6*n)!*(13591409 + 545140134*n)/((3*n)!*(n!)^3*(64032^3)^(n+1/2)). [David and Gregory Chudnovsky, 1989]
Pi = Sum_{n>=0} (1/16^n) * (4/(8*n+1) - 2/(8*n+4) - 1/(8*n+5) - 1/(8*n+6)). [Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe, 1989] (End)
Pi = 4 * Sum_{k>=0} 1/(4*k+1) - 1/(4*k+3). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 25 2008
Pi = 4*sqrt(-1*(Sum_{n>=0} (i^(2*n+1))/(2*n+1))^2). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Jan 25 2009
Pi = lim_{n->infinity} 2*n*A000111(n-1)/A000111(n) (conjecture). - Mats Granvik, Aug 12 2009
Pi = Integral_{x=-infinity..infinity} dx/(1+x^2). - Mats Granvik and Gary W. Adamson, Sep 23 2012
Pi - 2 = 1/1 + 1/3 - 1/6 - 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/21 - 1/28 - 1/36 + 1/45 + ... [Jonas Castillo Toloza, 2007], that is, Pi - 2 = Sum_{n>=1} (1/((-1)^floor((n-1)/2)*(n^2+n)/2)). - José de Jesús Camacho Medina, Jan 20 2014
Pi = 3 * Product_{t=img(r),r=(1/2+i*t) root of zeta function} (9+4*t^2)/(1+4*t^2) <=> RH is true. - Dimitris Valianatos, May 05 2016
From Ilya Gutkovskiy, Aug 07 2016: (Start)
Pi = Sum_{k>=1} (3^k - 1)*zeta(k+1)/4^k.
Pi = 2*Product_{k>=2} sec(Pi/2^k).
Pi = 2*Integral_{x>=0} sin(x)/x dx. (End)
Pi = 2^{k + 1}*arctan(sqrt(2 - a_{k - 1})/a_k) at k >= 2, where a_k = sqrt(2 + a_{k - 1}) and a_1 = sqrt(2). - Sanjar Abrarov, Feb 07 2017
a(n) = -10*floor(Pi*10^(-2 + n)) + floor(Pi*10^(-1 + n)) for n > 0. - Mariusz Iwaniuk, Apr 28 2017
Pi = Integral_{x = 0..2} sqrt(x/(2 - x)) dx. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Nov 20 2017
Pi = lim_{n->infinity} 2/n * Sum_{m=1,n} ( sqrt( (n+1)^2 - m^2 ) - sqrt( n^2 - m^2 ) ). - Dimitri Papadopoulos, May 31 2019
From Peter Bala, Oct 29 2019: (Start)
Pi = Sum_{n >= 0} 2^(n+1)/( binomial(2*n,n)*(2*n + 1) ) - Euler.
More generally, Pi = 4^x*x!/(2*x)! * Sum_{n >= 0} 2^(n+1)*(n+x)!*(n+2*x)!/(2*n+2*x+1)! = 2*4^x*x!^2/(2*x+1)! * hypergeom([2*x+1,1], [x+3/2], 1/2), valid for complex x not in {-1/2,-1,-3/2,-2,...}. Here, x! is shorthand notation for the function Gamma(x+1). This identity may be proved using Gauss's second summation theorem.
Setting x = 3/4 and x = -1/4 (resp. x = 1/4 and x = -3/4) in the above identity leads to series representations for the constant A085565 (resp. A076390). (End)
Pi = Im(log(-i^i)) = log(i^i)*(-2). - Peter Luschny, Oct 29 2019
