\[( 1-\frac{1}{2^2} ) ( 1- \frac{1}{3^2} ) ( 1- \frac{1}{4^2} ) ( 1- \frac{1}{5^2} ) (1- \frac{1}{6^2} ) \cdots (1- \frac{1}{1000^2} ) =?\]

Nice problem ..
$(1- \frac {1}{n^2})= \frac {(n+1)(n-1)}{n^2}$ Now where can we find a $(n-1)$ and a $(n+1)$ as denominator? ;)
Every logical solution to a problem has its own beauty.

I found a sequence out of the serial multiplications, my result is $\frac{1001}{2000}$
I just observed the multiplications of first 7 numbers, please check it though
