Instruction:
In the above files,
matriculation
only takes 4 digital numbers from your actual matriculation number. For instance, if your matriculation number is U012345X02, then the matriculation in the file is "2345", in other words the head "U01" and the tail "X02" are deleted. In case your matriculation number is U020123X02, then the matriculation in the file is "*0123" for avoiding to start with 0.
If you are not sure about the matriculation or you could not find yourself in the file, please send an e-mail to me for confirmation.

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.
