A proof of the Gregory-Leibniz series and new series for calculating pi

arXiv:0909.1523

Abstract

A non-traditional proof of the Gregory-Leibniz series, based on the relationships among the zeta function, Bernoulli coefficients, and the Laurent expansion of the cotangent is given. New series for calculating pi are obtained.
