  2. Chronology of computation of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_computation...

    As of July 2024, π has been calculated to 202 trillion decimal digits. The last 100 decimal digits of the latest world record computation are: [1] Graph showing how the record precision of numerical approximations to pi measured in decimal places (depicted on a logarithmic scale), evolved in human history.

  3. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0,0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r2 to find the approximation of π. For example, if r is 5, then the cells considered are: (−5,5) (−4,5)

  4. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    t. e. The number π (/ paɪ /; spelled out as " pi ") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle 's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.

  5. Pie chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_chart

    Pie chart. Pie chart of populations of English native speakers. A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic which is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length of each slice (and consequently its central angle and area) is proportional to the quantity it represents.

    The second book of the Mode series by Piers Anthony, Fractal Mode, describes a world that is a perfect 3D model of the set. [ 47 ] The Arthur C. Clarke novel The Ghost from the Grand Banks features an artificial lake made to replicate the shape of the Mandelbrot set.

  7. Chudnovsky algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chudnovsky_algorithm

    Chudnovsky algorithm. The Chudnovsky algorithm is a fast method for calculating the digits of π, based on Ramanujan 's π formulae. Published by the Chudnovsky brothers in 1988, [1] it was used to calculate π to a billion decimal places. [2]

  8. Prime-counting function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime-counting_function

    All instances of log (x) without a subscript base should be interpreted as a natural logarithm, also commonly written as ln (x) or loge(x). In mathematics, the prime-counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x. [1][2] It is denoted by π(x) (unrelated to the number π). The ...

  9. Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe...

    The Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (BBP formula) is a formula for π. It was discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe and is named after the authors of the article in which it was published, David H. Bailey, Peter Borwein, and Plouffe. [1] Before that, it had been published by Plouffe on his own site. [2]
