Pi to 1 MILLION Digits - 300 Year Old Formula

This video shows how to calculate over 1 million digits of Pi using Machin's formula. I used the Go programming language. But you could definitely do this in other languages. I believe the current fasted implementation of Pi is in C++. I found this page to be helpful when determining if I was getting the right answers for Pi www.angio.net/pi/ The derivation of Machin's formula can be found on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula Better Explained has a pretty good explanation of how Archimedes used shape approximation to calculate Pi betterexplained.com/articles/prehistoric-calculus-… Wikipedia has the chronology of the computation of Pi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_computation_of…
