ISTM that the content is v. and quite frequently useful.  And, of 
course, many thanks to the contributors here.

On 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_
toolkit/constants/constants.html ,
the text of the Uses and Rationale entries for two_thirds_pi and 
four_thirds_pi, seem to be incorrect to me.  No?
