If I'm not wrong then J is right about this one: pi(n-1) pi 0 tg ------- tg ---- 2 n 2 0 lim -------------- = ---------- = ---- = 0 n -> oo 4 n oo oo But the accuracy gives us a much earlier decline to zero, because 3 o. 1r2p1*1-% 10x^ 16 +i.6 3.53014e15 1.63318e16 1.63318e16 1.63318e16 1.63318e16 1.63318e16 while 4 n gets bigger and bigger. I guess your formula should be: area17=: [: % (4*])*3 o. 1p1 %+: (*: 100) * area17 2 3 5 7 100 10000 1e12 1e200 1250 1443.38 1538.84 1564.75 1591.42 1591.55 1591.55 1591.55 but (*: 100) * area17 _ _ -- Met vriendelijke groet, @@i = Arie Groeneveld ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
