QQC Six

Quote:

"This beautiful formula reveals a striking relation between the mysterious number pi and the familiar sequence of all the odd numbers."

Question:

Was phi discovered thanks to this formula?

Comment:

When I read this quote, I couldn't help but wonder if the formula discovered was the same one that helped us discover phi. I know that pi is used for unit circles and discovering the circumference of circles and spheres, but I couldn't help but wonder if Leibniz's research contributed to phi. Phi and pi follow similar properties since they are both numbers that can help us recognize patterns and "unique" shapes, so that is why I was curious about it.
