This category contains results named for William Brouncker.

English mathematician best known for Brouncker's Formula, an expansion for pi in the form of a generalized continued fraction.

Popularly believed to have been the first European to provide the solution to what is known as Pell's Equation, but the supposition that its name was a misattribution by Euler is disputed.

Published on the arc length of the parabola and the cycloid.

Improved on William Neile's computation of the arc length of the semicubical parabola $a y^2 = x^3$.
