BENGALURU: Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have accidentally stumbled upon a new finding -- a new series of representing the age-old mathematical formula of pi. While investigating how string theory can be used to explain certain physical phenomena, they found a new series representation for the irrational number pi. Aninda Sinha, Professor at the Centre for High Energy Physics, IISc, one of the researchers of the study, told The New Indian Express that the new formula is different from the ones taught in schools and colleges. The formula taught then has a never ending series of digits. Arnab Sinha was also a part of the new study at IISc, which is now published in Physical Review Letters.
