Ugly maths and beautiful maths.

by Frederick Williams <"Frederick Williams"@[EMAIL PROTECTED] May 22, 2008 at 12:50 PM

Someone[1] described this

   1/pi = (sqrt(8)/9801) sum_0^infty ((4n)!/(n!)^4)(1103 +
26390n)/386^{4n}

as an "aesthetic result" by which I assume they mean aesthetically
pleasing.  To me it looks quite ugly: 9801, 1103, 26390 and 396 all have
a horribly random look about them.
