Archimedes` constant PI and the Fibonacci
Numbers
There are several formulae
that use the Fibonacci numbers to compute PI.Well-known
trigonometrical identity that can be used to prove one of this
formulae is:
If we introduce supstitations:
where
We have:
The solution of this equation is:
We just proved the following
arctanges relationship:
Now we get for x=1 the next
relation:
Here`s another simple formula which
Euler wrote about in 1738:
So, we get the next relation
between Archimedes` constant PI and the Fibonacci numbers:
which only uses odd-indexed Fibonacci numbers.
