  3. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    It produces about 14 digits of π per term [134] and has been used for several record-setting π calculations, including the first to surpass 1 billion (10 9) digits in 1989 by the Chudnovsky brothers, 10 trillion (10 13) digits in 2011 by Alexander Yee and Shigeru Kondo, [135] and 100 trillion digits by Emma Haruka Iwao in 2022.

    This does not compute the nth decimal digit of π (i.e., in base 10). [3] But another formula discovered by Plouffe in 2022 allows extracting the nth digit of π in decimal. [4] BBP and BBP-inspired algorithms have been used in projects such as PiHex [5] for calculating many digits of π using distributed computing. The existence of this ...

    According to its author, it can compute one million digits in 3.5 seconds on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. [100] PiFast can also compute other irrational numbers like e and √ 2. It can also work at lesser efficiency with very little memory (down to a few tens of megabytes to compute well over a billion (10 9) digits).

    The 2002 record for digits of π, 1,241,100,000,000, was obtained by Yasumasa Kanada of Tokyo University. The calculation was performed on a 64-node Hitachi supercomputer with 1 terabyte of main memory, performing 2 trillion operations per second. The following two equations were both used:

  8. 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 ...

  9. List of formulae involving π - Wikipedia

    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.)
