Talk:Ramanujan's continued fractions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

any one know about Ramanujan's continued fraction , please expand further

When it says φ is the golden ratio isnt that 1 : 1.618  ; I think it means phi the one number? idk Joerite 03:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Irrelevant section?

I removed this from the article. As written, it is not explicitly naming Ramanujan.

===Other notable sequences===
Many fascinating mathematical identities are expressed by continued fractions. One such is this


u={x\over 1}+\,{x^5\over 1}+\,{x^{10}\over 1}+\,{x^{15}\over 1} + \dots
v={x^{\frac{1}{5}}\over 1}+\,{x\over 1}+\,{x^2\over 1}+\,{x^3\over 1} + \dots
then
v^5=u\,\left[\frac{1-2u+4u^2-3u^3+u^4}{1+3u+4u^2-2u^3+u^4}\right].</quote>
