1 Introduction There are a great many numbers of series involving the constant π,weprovide a selection.

Madhava–Gregory series or Gregory–Madhava series (power series for inverse tangents) Madhava’s formula for π (obtained by expansion of power series for inverse tangents) These series initially written by Madhava (as his successors show in their books) later got rediscovered by mathematicians of the West who represented those using modern notations.

Talk:Madhava series. Madhava Series. In Jyeṣṭhadeva’s Yuktibhāṣā (c. 1530), written in Malayalam, these series are presented with proofs in terms of the Taylor series expansions for polynomials like 1/(1+x2), with x = tanθ, etc. But Madhava went further and linked the idea of an infinite series with geometry and trigonometry. Selection of some of the numerous series expansion involving the fa-mous constant π.
