    Start by setting [4] = = = + Then iterate + = + + = (+) + + = (+ +) + + + Then p k converges quadratically to π; that is, each iteration approximately doubles the number of correct digits.The algorithm is not self-correcting; each iteration must be performed with the desired number of correct digits for π 's final result.

  3. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    The formula is a special case of the Euler–Boole summation formula for alternating series, providing yet another example of a convergence acceleration technique that can be applied to the Leibniz series. In 1992, Jonathan Borwein and Mark Limber used the first thousand Euler numbers to calculate π to 5,263 decimal places with the Leibniz ...

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  5. Gauss–Legendre algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_algorithm

    The arithmetic–geometric mean of two numbers, a 0 and b 0, is found by calculating the limit of the sequences + = +, + =, which both converge to the same limit. If = and = ⁡ then the limit is (⁡) where () is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind

  6. Chronology of computation of π - Wikipedia

    Found several rapidly converging infinite series of π, which can compute 8 decimal places of π with each term in the series. Since the 1980s, his series have become the basis for the fastest algorithms currently used by Yasumasa Kanada and the Chudnovsky brothers to compute π. 1946 D. F. Ferguson: Made use of a desk calculator [24] 620: 1947 ...

    Though the BBP formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π with less computational effort than formulas that must calculate all intervening digits, BBP remains linearithmic ((⁡)), whereby successively larger values of n require increasingly more time to calculate; that is, the "further out" a digit is, the longer it ...

    is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler . It is a special case of Euler's formula e i x = cos ⁡ x + i sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} when evaluated for x = π {\displaystyle x=\pi } .

    An m-1-term, σ-approximated summation for a series of period T can be written as follows: = + = (⁡) [⁡ + ⁡ ()], in terms of the normalized sinc function: ⁡ = ⁡. and are the typical Fourier Series coefficients, and p, a non negative parameter, determines the amount of smoothening applied, where higher values of p further reduce the ...
