Successive approximations of π using Euler Beta functions
Abstract
In this didactic note, we describe a procedure to derive successive approximations of π using Euler Beta functions. It is an interesting exercise for undergraduate students, since it involves polynomial roots, integral calculations, inequalities and Euler Beta functions.
