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
On August 5, 2021, researchers from the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons in Switzerland announced they had calculated 62.8 trillion digits. Guinness World Records has not verified this yet. - Alonso del Arte, Aug 23 2021
The Hermite-Lindemann (1882) theorem states, that if z is a nonzero algebraic number, then e^z is a transcendent number. The transcendence of Pi then results from Euler's relation: e^(i*Pi) = -1. - Peter Luschny, Jul 21 2023
The 10000 words of the book "Not A Wake" by Michael Keith, written in Pilish, match in length the first 10000 digits of Pi. - Paolo Xausa, Aug 07 2025

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,-3/2,-2,-5/2,...}. 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
From Amiram Eldar, Aug 15 2020: (Start)
Equals 2 + Integral_{x=0..1} arccos(x)^2 dx.
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + 1/x^2) dx.
Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + x^2)/x^2 dx.
Equals Integral_{x=-oo..oo} exp(x/2)/(exp(x) + 1) dx. (End)
Equals 4*(1/2)!^2 = 4*Gamma(3/2)^2. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 23 2021
From Peter Bala, Dec 08 2021: (Start)

Pi = 48*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*(6*n + 5)).
More generally, it appears that for k >= 0 we have Pi = A(k) + B(k)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 6*k + 5)), where A(k) is a rational approximation to Pi and B(k) = (3 * 2^(3*k+3) * (3*k + 2)!) / (2^(3*k+1) - (-1)^k). The first few values of A(k) for k >= 0 are [0, 256/85, 65536/20955, 821559296/261636375, 6308233216/2008080987, 908209489444864/289093830828075, ...].

More generally, it appears that for k >= 0 we have Pi = C(k) + D(k)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n* (6*n + 1)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 6*k + 3)), where C(k) and D(k) are rational numbers. The case k = 0 is the Madhava-Gregory-Leibniz series for Pi.
Pi = 168/53 + (288/53)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (42*n^2 + 25*n)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*(6*n + 5)*(6*n + 7)).
More generally, it appears that for k >= 1 we have Pi = E(k) + F(k)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (6*(6*k + 1)*n^2 + (24*k + 1)*n)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 6*k + 1)), where E(k) and F(k) are rational numbers. (End)

The series representation Pi = 4 * Sum_{k >= 0} 1/(4*k + 1) - 1/(4*k + 3) given above by Alexander R. Povolotsky, Dec 25 2008, is the case n = 0 of the more general result (obtained by the WZ method): for n >= 0, there holds
Pi = Sum_{j = 0.. n-1} 2^(j+1)/((2*j + 1)*binomial(2*j,j)) + 8*(n+1)!*Sum_{k >= 0} 1/((4*k + 1)*(4*k + 3)*...*(4*k + 2*n + 3)).
Letting n -> oo gives the rapidly converging series Pi = Sum_{j >= 0} 2^(j+1)/((2*j + 1)*binomial(2*j,j)) due to Euler.
More generally, it appears that for n >= 1, Pi = 1/(2*n-1)!!^2 * Sum_{j >= 0} (Product_{i = 0..2*n-1} j - i) * 2^(j+1)/((2*j + 1)*binomial(2*j,j)).
For any integer n, Pi = (-1)^n * 4 * Sum_{k >= 0} 1/(4*k + 1 + 2*n) - 1/(4*k + 3 - 2*n). (End)
Pi = Product_{k>=1} ((k^3*(k + 2)*(2*k + 1)^2)/((k + 1)^4*(2*k - 1)^2))^k. - Antonio Graciá Llorente, Jun 13 2024

Pi^2 = 20 * Integral_{x = 0 .. log(phi)} x*coth(x) dx, where phi = (1/2)*(1 + sqrt(5)) is the golden ratio.
Pi^2 = 10 * Sum_{k >= 0} binomial(2*k,k)*(1/(2*k + 1)^2)*(-1/16)^k. Similar series expansions hold for Pi/3 (see A019670) and (7*/216)*Pi^3 (see A091925).
The integer sequences A(n) := 2^n*(2*n + 1)!^2/n! and B(n) := A(n)*( Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)^2*(-1/16)^k ) both satisfy the second order recurrence equation u(n) = (24*n^3 + 44*n^2 + 2*n + 1)*u(n-1) + 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^5*u(n-2). From this observation we can obtain the continued fraction expansion Pi^2/10 = 1 - 1/(72 + 8*3^5/(373 + 8*2*5^5/(1051 + ... + 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^5/((24*n^3 + 44*n^2 + 2*n + 1) + ... )))). Cf.

Pi^2 = A304656 * A093602 = (gamma(0, 1/6) - gamma(0, 5/6))*(gamma(0, 2/6) - gamma(0, 4/6)), where gamma(n,x) are the generalized Stieltjes constants. This formula can also be expressed by the polygamma function. - Peter Luschny, May 16 2018

From Peter Bala, Dec 10 2021: (Start)
Pi^2 = (2^6)*Sum_{n >= 1} n^2/(4*n^2 - 1)^2 = (2^11)*Sum_{n >= 1} n^2/ ((4*n^2 - 1)^2*(4*n^2 - 3^2)^2) = ((2^19)*(3^2)/7) * Sum_{n >= 1} n^2/((4*n^2 - 1)^2*(4*n^2 - 3^2)^2*(4*n^2 - 5^2)^2).
More generally, it appears that for k >= 0 we have Pi^2 = (2*k+1)*2^(4*k+6) * (2*k)!^4/(4*k)! * Sum_{n >= 1} n^2/((4*n^2 - 1)^2*...*(4*n^2 - (2*k+1)^2)^2).
It also appears that for k >= 0 we have Pi^2 = (-1)^k * 2^(6*k+8)*(2*k+1)^3/(6*k+1) * ((2*k)!^6 * (3*k)!)/(k!^3 * (6*k)!) * Sum_{n >= 1} n^2/((4*n^2 - 1)^3*...*(4*n^2 - (2*k+1)^2)^3). (End)

Pi^2 = 10 - Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(n*(n + 1))^3.
Pi^2 = 6217/630 + (648/35)*Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(n*(n + 1)*(n + 2)*(n + 3))^3.
The general result (verified using the WZ method - see Wilf) is : for n >= 0,
Pi^2 = A(n) + (-1)^(n+1) * B(n)*Sum_{k >= 1} 1/(k*(k + 1)*...*(k + 2*n + 1))^3, where A(n) = 10 - Sum_{i = 1..n} (-1)^(i+1) * (56*i^2 + 24*i + 3)*(2*i)!^3*(3*i)!/(2*i^2*(2*i + 1)*(6*i + 1)!*i!^3) and B(n) = (2*n + 1)!^6 * (3*n)! / ( (2*n + 1)*(6*n + 1)!*n!^3 ).
Letting n -> oo gives the fast converging alternating series
Pi^2 = 10 - Sum_{i >= 1} (-1)^(i+1) * (56*i^2 + 24*i + 3)*(2*i)!^3 * (3*i)!/(2*i^2*(2*i + 1)*(6*i + 1)!*i!^3). The i-th summand of the series is asymptotic to (14/3) * 1/(i^2 * 27^i) so taking 70 terms of the series gives a value for Pi^2 accurate to more than 100 decimal places.
The series representation Pi^2 = 3*Sum_{k >= 1} (2*k)/k^3 can be accelerated to give the faster converging series
Pi^2 = 99/10 - (8/5)*Sum_{k >= 1} (2*k + 2)/(k*(k + 1)*(k + 2))^3 and
Pi^2 = 54715/5544 + (41472/385)*Sum_{k >= 1} (2*k + 4)/(k*(k + 1)*(k + 2)*(k + 3)*(k + 4))^3.
The general result is: for n >= 1, Pi^2 = C(n) + (-1)^n * D(n)*Sum_{k >= 1} (2*k + 2*n)/(k*(k + 1)*...*(k + 2*n))^3, where C(n) = A(n) - 10*(-1)^n*(3*n)!*(2*n)!^3/((2*n + 1)*n!^3*(6*n + 1)!) and D(n) = (2*n)!^6 * (3*n)! / ( 2*n*(6*n - 1)!*n!^3 ). (End)
Equals 9 + 3*Sum_{n>=1} 1/((n^2*(n+1)^2)). - Davide Rotondo, May 29 2025

From _Peter Bala_, Nov 16 2016: (Start)
Case n = 1. Pi/3 = 18 * Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(k+1)( 1/((6*k - 5)*(6*k + 1)*(6*k + 7)) + 1/((6*k - 1)*(6*k + 5)*(6*k + 11)) ).
Using the methods of Borwein et al. we can find the following asymptotic expansion for the tails of this series: for N divisible by 6 there holds Sum_{k >= N/6} (-1)^(k+1)( 1/((6*k - 5)*(6*k + 1)*(6*k + 7)) + 1/((6*k - 1)*(6*k + 5)*(6*k + 11)) ) ~ 1/N^3 + 6/N^5 + 1671/N ^7 - 241604/N^9 + ..., where the sequence [1, 0, 6, 0, 1671, 0, -241604, 0, ...] is the sequence of coefficients in the expansion of ((1/18)*cosh(2*x)/cosh(3*x)) * sinh(3*x)^2 = x^2/2! + 6*x^4/4! + 1671*x^6/6! - 241604*x^8/8! + ....

From Peter Bala, Feb 05 2015: (Start)
Pi/3 = Sum {k >= 0} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/16)^k = 2F1(1/2,1/2;3/2;1/4). Similar series expansions hold for Pi^2 (A002388), Pi^3 (A091925) and Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) (A093954.)
The integer sequences A(n) := 4^n*(2*n + 1)! and B(n) := A(n)*( Sum {k = 0..n} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/16)^k ) both satisfy the second-order recurrence equation u(n) = (20*n^2 + 4*n + 1)*u(n-1) - 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3*u(n-2). From this observation we can obtain the continued fraction expansion Pi/3 = 1 + 1/(24 - 8*3^3/(89 - 8*2*5^3/(193 - 8*3*7^3/(337 - ... - 8*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3/((20*n^2 + 4*n + 1) - ... ))))). Cf. A002388 and A093954. (End)

Equals Integral_{x=-oo..oo} sech(x)/3 dx. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 09 2016
From Peter Bala, Nov 16 2016: (Start)
Euler's series transformation applied to the series representation Pi/3 = Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k/(6*k + 1) + (-1)^k/(6*k + 5) given above by Greathouse produces the faster converging series Pi/3 = (1/2) * Sum_{n >= 0} 3^n*n!*( 1/(Product_{k = 0..n} (6*k + 1)) + 1/(Product_{k = 0..n} (6*k + 5)) ).
The series given above by Greathouse is the case n = 0 of the more general result Pi/3 = 9^n*(2*n)! * Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(k+n)*( 1/(Product_{j = -n..n} (6*k + 1 + 6*j)) + 1/(Product_{j = -n..n} (6*k + 5 + 6*j)) ) for n = 0,1,2,.... Cf. A003881. See the example section for notes on the case n = 1.(End)

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(1 + x^6) dx. - Bernard Schott, Mar 12 2022
Pi/3 = -Sum_{n >= 1} i/(n*P(n, 1/sqrt(-3))*P(n-1, 1/sqrt(-3))), where i = sqrt(-1) and P(n, x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. The first twenty terms of the series gives the approximation Pi/3 = 1.04719755(06...) correct to 8 decimal places. - Peter Bala, Mar 16 2024
Equals Integral_{x >= 0} (2*x^2 + 1)/((x^2 + 1)*(4*x^2 + 1)) dx. - Peter Bala, Feb 12 2025
