I know the mathematical derviation technique, I've gone through the proofs as part of the math classes attached to my Engineering degree.
Neat tricks to come up with irrational numbers on a regular calculator amuse me.

Gives a really neat link on how to come up with those fractions.
I particularly like the forumla for pi above because it's simple, easy to derive with a relatively simple calculator, and it's elegant.
I was hoping someone knew of a similar one for e.--
