Wallis' Formula: InI_n = integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} sinnsin^n x dx = integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} cosncos^n x dx

InI_n = [n1n\frac{n-1}{n}] * [n3(n2)\frac{n-3}{(n-2)}] * ... * pi2or1\frac{pi}{2 or 1}

  • Last factor is pi/2 if n is even (sequence ends at 1/2 * pi/2)
  • Last factor is 1 if n is odd sequenceendsat231\frac{sequence ends at 2}{3 * 1}

Quick Values: I0I_0 = pi/2, I1I_1 = 1, I2I_2 = pi/4, I3I_3 = 2/3, I4I_4 = 3pi/16, I5I_5 = 8/15, I6I_6 = 5pi/32

Extended Wallis: integral(0 to pi) sinnsin^n x dx = 2 * InI_n (even function on [0, pi] after King's Rule) integral(0 to 2pi) sinnsin^n x dx = 4 * InI_n (when n is even), 0 (when n is odd)
