What is the largest $n$ such that each $n$-digit number appears in the...

As the title of the question says. Of course everybody believes that $\pi$ is normal, so that the question 'what is the largest $n$ such that every $n$-digit number appears in the digits of $\pi$' is...

Does convergence of the Flint-Hills series imply convergence of the...

The Wolfram MathWorld page on the Cookson Hills series states:It is not known if this series converges since $\sec^2 n$ can have sporadic large values.The series is$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\sec^2...

Why isn't the lateral surface area of a cone equal to $\pi RH$?

Proof of the surface area of a cone doesn't make sense (to me at least).The surface area of a cone is$$\pi R G + \pi R^2 \tag1$$where $R$ is the radius of the base, and $G$ is the cone's generatrix....

Integral involving elliptic integral functions

Recently I came across this identity:$$\int _0^1\:\frac{K\left(x\right)}{1+x}dx=\frac{\pi ^2}{8}$$Where:$$K\left(x\right)=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{2}}\:\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\left(x\sin \left(\theta...

A continued fraction for $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\pi}$

I found the following continued fraction identity:$$\frac{3\sqrt3}{\pi}=1+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{2}{2+\cfrac{3}{1+\cfrac{4}{3+\cfrac{5}{1+\cfrac{6}{\ddots}}}}}}.$$The partial numerators...

Is there an integral that proves $\pi > 333/106$?

The following integral,$$ \int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{x^2 + 1} \mathrm{d}x = \frac{22}{7} - \pi $$is clearly positive, which proves that $\pi < 22/7$.Is there a similar integral which proves $\pi...

Why is the expected value of this random nested radical equal to $4/\pi$?

To celebrate Pi Day, I took a look at some classic identities for $\pi$ again, particularly the nested roots associated with Viète’s formula. Such as this one:$$\pi=\lim_{k \to\infty} 2^k...

A continued fraction for Baxter's four-coloring constant

I found the following infinite continued fraction:$$\operatorname{C_{B4CC}}=\cfrac{2}{1+\cfrac{2}{1+\cfrac{6}{1+\cfrac{3}{1+\cfrac{10}{1+\cfrac{4}{\ddots}}}}}}$$where $\operatorname{C_{B4CC}}$ denotes...

Distribution of the digits of $\pi$

Can anything be stated about the distribution of the digits of $\pi$, i.e., if I were to sample $n$ digits of $\pi$, can anything be said about the probability to observe certain digits, or is there...

A continued fraction for the reciprocal of Gauss's constant

I found the following infinite continued fraction:$$\frac{1}{G} = \frac1{(2\pi)^{-3/2}\,\Gamma^2(1/4)} = \cfrac{4}{1+\cfrac{5}{1+\cfrac{6}{1+\cfrac{9}{1+\cfrac{8}{1+\cfrac{13}{\ddots}}}}}}$$where $G$...

Is it mathematically correct to write $e^{i\pi}=i^2$?

I know that Euler's identity gives $e^{i\pi}=-1$, and since $i^2=-1$, it follows that $e^{i\pi}=i^2$.My questions are:Is it mathematically correct to write $e^{i\pi}=i^2$, or is this considered poor...

Proving $\pi^3 \gt 31$

$$\large \pi^3 \gt 31$$Using a calculator, $\pi^3/31 \approx 1.0002$, so I thought this may be challenging to do by hand.It is extremely easy with the use of any calculator, so I was wondering now:Can...

Does every digit in base $n$ appear in the expansion of $\pi$? [duplicate]

So I was thinking of the conjecture that every finite combination of digits appears somewhere in the expansion of $\pi$. This led me to a wonder:For every integer base $n \ge 2$, does every digit...
