Two physicists, Arnab Priya Saha and Aninda Sinha from the Indian Institute of Science, inadvertently discovered a new formula for calculating \(\pi\) while working on string theory. Their findings were published in Physical Review Letters in January 2024.
This formula generates an infinitely long sum. What's remarkable is that it depends on a factor \(\lambda\), a freely adjustable parameter.
Since there are infinitely many possible values for \(\lambda\), Saha and Sinha have effectively discovered infinite formulas for \(\pi\). Interestingly, when \(\lambda\) approaches infinity, the equation corresponds to Madhava's formula, discovered more than 600 years ago.
\[\pi = 4 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty {1\over n!} \biggl({1\over n+\lambda} - {4\over 2n+1}\biggr)\biggl({(2n+1)^2 \over 4(n+\lambda)} - n \biggr)_{n-1}\]
where \(\lambda\) is an arbitrary complex number and the Pochhammer symbol \((x)_n := x(x+1)\cdots(x+n-1)\).

IISc Bangalore: Bid to block Teesta Setalvad’s speech on harmony
Security personnel at the institute’s gates initially denied Setalvad entry until faculty members insisted that she should be allowed in, says a faculty member.

UAPA event cancellation: IISER Mohali issues notice to teachers critical of IISc Bangalore
The institute has directed two of its faculty members, who were the only two from IISER Mohali to register "dismay" over IISc's cancellation of a talk on UAPA, to explain their actions by July 13.

I guess I am due an #introduction.
Hello folks,
I am Bevan Stanely. I am finishing my master’s from #iisc #india. For my #research thesis, I developed a computational model for a social bacteria #myxo.
I am preparing for a career change to #datascience. The technical stuff in #dataengineering is also quite interesting.
I like it here at #mastadon. It is much more sociable to my comfort. I am looking forward to smaller but more fulfilling networks. I have a lot of interests, so not gonna bore you with a list.
Cheers to new meaningful connections!!
