In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

Last year, a Japanese mathematician and a U.S. grad student smashed the world record for calculating the value of Pi. After a manic 371 days of computing, Shigeru Kondo and Alexander Yee reached 10 ...

If there was ever a magical number, it is pi, the mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi appears in countless formulae in mathematics and ...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), an American entity that conducts aeronautical and aerospace research, told through its website that prior to the Pi Day several users agreed ...

The value of pi — the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — has been calculated anew on a super computer, adding 12.8 trillion new decimal digits to its roster, for a total of 62.8 ...

If you’re new to the world of circular math, you might be content with referring to pi as 3.14. If you’re getting a little more busy with geometry, science, or engineering, you might have tacked on a ...

WASHINGTON (7News) — It's Friday, March 14 —3/14, the day that every math nerd eagerly anticipates each year. Known around the world as "Pi Day," it’s a time to celebrate one of mathematics' most ...

'Does NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) use' 3.14 'when using pi for calculations, or does it use a value that is about 300 digits after the decimal point?' Is the question that actually arrived ...
