Description: The Leibniz formula for _pi . This proof depends on three main facts: (1) the series F is convergent, because it is an alternating series ( iseralt ). (2) Using leibpilem2 to rewrite the series as a power series, it is the x = 1 special case of the Taylor series for arctan ( atantayl2 ). (3) Although we cannot directly plug x = 1 into atantayl2 , Abel's theorem ( abelth2 ) says that the limit along any sequence converging to 1 , such as 1 - 1 / n , of the power series converges to the power series extended to 1 , and then since arctan is continuous at 1 ( atancn ) we get the desired result. This is Metamath 100 proof #26. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 7-Apr-2015)
