New derivation of the Wallis formula
Authors:
Abstract
This note examines the expression of the length of the arcs of an ellipse and a hyperbola using infinite series (see article). Adding all these equalities and making reductions, we obtain the following formula, which is nothing more than the Wallis formula. The same result could be obtained by finding the arc length of the hyperbola.
