Category:Leibniz's Formula for Pi

This category contains pages concerning Leibniz's Formula for Pi:

$\dfrac \pi 4 = 1 - \dfrac 1 3 + \dfrac 1 5 - \dfrac 1 7 + \dfrac 1 9 - \cdots \approx 0 \cdotp 78539 \, 81633 \, 9744 \ldots$

That is:

$\ds \pi = 4 \sum_{k \mathop \ge 0} \paren {-1}^k \frac 1 {2 k + 1}$
