Srinivasa Ramanujan published many pi formulas in his famous 1914 paper, but did not leave behind detailed proofs. I am an amnesiac alien VTuber who followed in his footsteps and discovered 5 more pi formulas!

In this video, I guide you through Ramanujan's thought process by reading his notebook. We explore elliptic integrals and their Taylor series and hypergeometric series expansions at their singular moduli. Using theta functions, logarithmic differentiation, the theory of Liouville, Borwein brothers, and Bruce Berndt, Ramanujan's mysterious formulas are unveiled. You can solve them while you're awake!
