In mathematics, Machin-like formulae are a popular technique for computing π to a large number of digits. They are generalizations of John Machin's formula from 1706: : which he used to compute π to 100 decimal places. Machin-like formulas have the form: Where and are positive integers such that , is a signed non-zero integer, and is a positive integer. These formulae are used in conjunction with the Taylor series expansion for arctangent: ==Derivation== In Angle addition formula we learned the following equations: : : Simple algebraic manipulations of these equations yield the following: if All of the Machin-like formulae can be derived by repeated application of this equation. As an example, we show the derivation of Machin's original formula: : :: :: :: :: : :: :: :: :: : :: :: :: :: :: : An insightful way to visualize equation is to picture what happens when two complex numbers are multiplied together: : :: The angle associated with a complex number is given by: : Thus, in equation , the angle associated with the product is: : Note that this is the same expression as occurs in equation . Thus equation can be interpreted as saying that the act of multiplying two complex numbers is equivalent to adding their associated angles (see multiplication of complex numbers). The expression: : is the angle associated with: : Equation can be re-written as: : Where is an arbitrary constant that accounts for the difference in magnitude between the vectors on the two sides of the equation. The magnitudes can be ignored, only the angles are significant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Machin-like formula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
