Volume of Unit Hypersphere/Sequence

Sequence of Volumes of Unit Hyperspheres

The sequence of volumes of the unit sphere in $n$-dimensional space begins as follows:

$\ds n = 1$

$:$

$\ds \map V 1 = 2$

$\ds n = 2$

$:$

$\ds \map V 2 = 3.1$

$\ds n = 3$

$:$

$\ds \map V 3 = 4.2$

$\ds n = 4$

$:$

$\ds \map V 4 = 4.9$

$\ds n = 5$

$:$

$\ds \map V 5 = 5.264$

$\ds n = 6$

$:$

$\ds \map V 6 = 5.2$

$\ds n = 7$

$:$

$\ds \map V 7 = 4.7$
