The calculation of the numerical value of the fine structure constant, α, in Book 3 was divided
into 4 steps, so that calculation on the computer or a calculator was more convenient.
However, all these 4 steps may be merged in one formula, as follows:
α − 1= ({[C0*(π ⁄ e)∧(16 + (C0 ⁄ (C16 ⁄ 10)∧(11 ⁄ 3))∧(C16 ⁄ 3))] ⁄ 10}∧ [17 ⁄ (C0 ⁄ (C16 ⁄ 10)∧(11 ⁄ 3))∧(C16 ⁄ 3)])∧2 Eqn. main
(Hopefully, I did not miss some of the brackets)
