The French Mathematician and Physicist Joseph Fourier proved
e is irrational,

Another French mathematician Charles Hermite went further: e belongs to another mathematical world:
e is transcendental.

Hermite’s German student Lindermann followed the same method, proved:
pi is also transcendental.

1706 John Machin developed a formula for calculating Pi to an arbitrary number of decimal places:

$\boxed{\displaystyle \pi = \text {4 [4.arccot(5) - arccot(239)]} }$

$\boxed {\displaystyle \text{arccot (x)} = \frac{1}{x} - \frac {1}{3{x^{3}}} + \frac {1}{5{x^{5}}}-\frac {1}{7{x^{7}}} + \cdots }$
