Formula: WnW_n = integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} sinnsin^n(x) dx = integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} cosncos^n(x) dx

For even n = 2m: W_(2m) = [(2m-1)(2m-3)...31] / [2m(2m-2)...42] * pi/2 = [(2m)!/(2^m * m!)^2] * pi/2

For odd n = 2m+1: W_(2m+1) = [2m(2m-2)...42] / [(2m+1)(2m-1)...53]

Quick computation: W0W_0 = pi/2, W1W_1 = 1, W2W_2 = pi/4, W3W_3 = 2/3, W4W_4 = 3pi/16, W5W_5 = 8/15, W6W_6 = 5pi/32

Wallis' product formula: pi/2 = lim(n->inf) [224466...(2n)(2n)] / [133557...(2n-1)(2n+1)]

Extended Wallis: integral0topi2\frac{0 to pi}{2} sinmsin^m(x)cosncos^n(x) dx = B(m+12\frac{(m+1}{2}, n+12\frac{n+1}{2})/2 where B is the Beta function.
