What's the point? There are many equations involving infinite series that become extremely long, repetetive, (and utterly boring) if written out in full. For this reason mathematicians introduce agreed-upon symbols to represent otherwise over-long elements in equations. This, naturally, shortens them.
Better to ask 'what is one of the longest, useful, and commonly used scientific equations?'
I dunno! Anyone?
X equals minus B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus four AC all over two A.

x = -b +/- ((b^2 - 4ac) / 2a)

Learnt that one in GCSE maths. It solves quadratic equations. Not very long, but used a lot... in some areas... somewhere. Never used it myself.
This equation of Einstein's is the best one I could find.

Just proves how much of a genius that man really was.
The answer to

Pi = ?

Must be one of the longest as it's infinite

I remember reading that the longest equation was the one used to work out the speed of a car from the length of it's skid marks left on the road.
