Product[Cos[Pi/n]...
This number, the Product[Cos[Pi/n], {n,3,infinity}] is the limit of an interesting figure in geometry.:
If we take a circle, inscribe a triangle, then incribe another circle inside the triangle, then inscribe a square inside the inner circle, then inscribe another circle inside the square, then inscribe a pentagon...
The radius of this figure (the number of sides of the polygon increase with every step:triangle 3, square 4, pentagon 5, ...) approaches a limit:
Product[Cos[Pi/n], {n,3,infinity}]
Is there any way to get an analytic solution to this? Like this would be the square root of Pi or some combination of radicals and irrational numbers? Anyway, Thanks,
