| Title of Talk | A "Weird" Limit Representation of Pi |
| Abstract | It is well known that $e=\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}{\left( 1+\frac{1}{n} \right) }^n$ by mathematicians. Does the irrational number pi have such an unexpected limit representation like e, which can be proved by using only undergraduate mathematical skills? In this talk we will use geometry, trigonometry, mathematical induction, and the concept of limits to prove the existence of such a limit. |
