To celebrate here is my QuickBase formula for ? from the 15th century (Nilakantha):
3 +Which evaluates to : 3.1414796890043
4 * (
1 / ( 2 * 3 * 4) -
1 / ( 4 * 5 * 6) +
1 / ( 6 * 7 * 8) -
1 / ( 8 * 9 * 10) +
1 / (10 * 11 * 12) -
1 / (12 * 13 * 14) +
1 / (14 * 15 * 16) -
1 / (16 * 17 * 18) +
1 / (18 * 19 * 20) -
1 / (20 * 21 * 22) +
1 / (22 * 23 * 24) -
1 / (24 * 25 * 26)
)
Not too shabby and certainly beats memorizing all those digits.
