God made the natural numbers; all the rest is the work of man.  -  Leopold Kronecker

 

 

The purpose of Series Math Study (SMS) website is to explore and develop the beauty of series formulas that have connections to special mathematical constants.  Most of the series in this website are found with completed proofs.  Some series can be used to calculate ever more accurate values of some special math constants as the desire that has challenged mathematicians for many centuries.

 

 

I am ashamed to tell you to how many figures I carried these computations, having no other business at the time.
