EXAMPLE

1, 1, (1/2)*Pi, 2, (3/4)*Pi, 8/3, (15/16)*Pi, 16/5, (35/32)*Pi, 128/35, (315/256)*Pi, ...

The sequence GAMMA(n/2+1)/GAMMA(n/2+1/2), n >= 0, begins 1/Pi^(1/2), 1/2*Pi^(1/2), 2/Pi^(1/2), 3/4*Pi^(1/2), 8/3/Pi^(1/2), 15/16*Pi^(1/2), 16/5/Pi^(1/2), ...

MAPLE

if n mod 2 = 0 then k := n/2; 2*k*Pi*binomial(2*k-1, k)/4^k else k := (n-1)/2; 4^k/binomial(2*k, k); fi;

f:=n->simplify(GAMMA(n/2+1)/GAMMA(n/2+1/2));
