  2. Pie chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_chart

    Square charts, also called waffle charts, are a form of pie charts that use squares instead of circles to represent percentages. Similar to basic circular pie charts, square pie charts take each percentage out of a total 100%. They are often 10 by 10 grids, where each cell represents 1%.

  3. Liu Hui's π algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Hui's_π_algorithm

    Liu Hui's method of calculating the area of a circle. Liu Hui's π algorithm was invented by Liu Hui (fl. 3rd century), a mathematician of the state of Cao Wei.Before his time, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was often taken experimentally as three in China, while Zhang Heng (78–139) rendered it as 3.1724 (from the proportion of the celestial circle to the diameter ...

  4. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    In mathematics, Machin-like formulas are a popular technique for computing π (the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle) to a large number of digits.They are generalizations of John Machin's formula from 1706:

  6. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    In mathematics, the Leibniz formula for π, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that = + + = = +,. an alternating series.. It is sometimes called the Madhava–Leibniz series as it was first discovered by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama or his followers in the 14th–15th century (see Madhava series), [1] and was later independently rediscovered by James Gregory in ...

  7. Proportional symbol map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_symbol_map

    For example, if circles are being used to represent GDP on a global map, then a country with a value of 58 would have a circle with twice the area as a country with a value of 29. If circles are being used, the sizes of all symbols are calculated based on a chosen size for any one of the symbols (often, but not necessarily, the minimum value).

  8. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    Pi can be obtained from a circle if its radius and area are known using the relationship: A = π r 2 . {\displaystyle A=\pi r^{2}.} If a circle with radius r is drawn with its center at the point (0, 0) , any point whose distance from the origin is less than r will fall inside the circle.
