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.
is the number of collisions made (in ideal conditions, perfectly elastic with no friction) by an object of mass m initially at rest between a fixed wall and another object of mass b 2N m, when struck by the other object. [1] (This gives the digits of π in base b up to N digits past the radix point.)
On a single-step or immediate-execution calculator, the user presses a key for each operation, calculating all the intermediate results, before the final value is shown. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] On an expression or formula calculator , one types in an expression and then presses a key, such as "=" or "Enter", to evaluate the expression.
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 ...
PiHex was a distributed computing project organized by Colin Percival to calculate specific bits of π. [1] 1,246 contributors [2] used idle time slices on almost two thousand computers [citation needed] to make its calculations. The software used for the project made use of Bellard's formula, a faster version of the BBP formula. [3]
The unit of time is defined such that one step of the pseudo code corresponds to one unit. To execute the loop, in its entirety, requires four units of time. is defined to be four. Note, however, that if is equal to one, then step one can be skipped. The loop only takes three units of time.
The stepped reckoner or Leibniz calculator was a mechanical calculator invented by the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (started in 1673, when he presented a wooden model to the Royal Society of London [2] and completed in 1694). [1]
TachusPi by Fabrice Bellard [97] is the program used by himself to compute world record number of digits of pi in 2009. y -cruncher by Alexander Yee [ 47 ] is the program which every world record holder since Shigeru Kondo in 2010 has used to compute world record numbers of digits .
