Ramanujan-type formulae for 1/π: the art of translation
Abstract
We outline an elementary method for proving numerical hypergeometric identities, in particular, Ramanujan-type identities for 1/π. The principal idea is using algebraic transformations of arithmetic hypergeometric series to translate non-singular points into singular ones, where the required constants can be computed using asymptotic analysis.
