  • Computation of Pi using Taylor series
  • A little history about the number Pi:1500 years ago our ancestor already knew that Pi is between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. This is really remarkable during the time when nobody knew any calculus. By using Taylor series together with computer, we obtain that Pi is about 3.14159264, a little more accurate than what our 1500 years old ancestor did.
