Of particular interest, we show that π has no Machin-type BBP arctangent formula when b ≠ 2 . To the best of our knowledge, when there is no Machin-type BBP formula for a constant then no BBP formula of any form is known for that constant.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:22:57 AEDT ]]> I prefer pi: a brief history and anthology of articles in the American Mathematical Monthly https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23028 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:51 AEDT ]]>
