  13. I  hope Mathematicians especially  Pi'ans  could help me remember this beautiful form of pi.
  14. I  can only faintly remember this beautiful form  invented by Ramanujam
  15. pi = (1*2)/(3*4) +(5*6)/(6*7)....
  16.  
  17. All I remember is that it is very close to this representation ....it involved multiplication of two numbers
  18. and divsion by two very close numbers .. it was indeed  one of the fascinating forms.
