The fundamental constant

3.12.1		$\pi=3.14159\;26535\;89793\;23846\;\ldots$
ⓘ Defines: $\pi$ : the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter Notes: For more digits see OEIS Sequence A000796; see also Sloane (2003). Permalink: http://dlmf.nist.gov/3.12.E1 Encodings: TeX, pMML, png See also: Annotations for §3.12 and Ch.3

can be defined analytically in numerous ways, for example,

3.12.2		$\pi=4\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\,\mathrm{d}t}{1+t^{2}}.$
