    I am hoping the end of the year test will not require me to memorize this. Want to break the geekiest world record of them all? Here's how engineers spent 75 days to calculate Pi to 105 trillion digits — just in time for Pi day | TechRadar[^]

      Somewhere I have a copy of the journal (Mathematics of Computation?) ca 1962 where they proudly published the first 100k digits of π. Took many hours on an IBM mainframe. Calculated by two different formulae, had to rerun when they didn't match.

      Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

        A classic book by name 'Numerical Recipes in C', (also Pascal, Fortran) has code for calculating the first n bytes of Pi.

          Can we just agree that pi will never end. and use all that processing power to find the meaning of life ?
