John Machin's formula

Found an excellent article on the John Machin formula.


Most people merely list formulas without proof. Thanks to the author of that pdf!

I know how to prove this Euler formula now.

π/4 = atan(1/2) + atan(1/3)

Verify on your calculator (with radian mode)

This is an excellent site.... omg, there is link between π and Fibonacci!
