Happy Pi Day! Here’s an approximation of π rounded up to the 11th decimal place using the method Newton used. Time spent: ~π hours (~190 minutes). #math #fyp #foryou #approximation #pi #piday #uchicago While I used the first 14 terms, Newton, in 1666, used the first 22 terms to obtain an approximation of π to 14 decimal places. Notably, Newton wrote, “I am ashamed to tell you to how many figures I carried these computations, having no other business at the time.” The computations did in fact take much longer than I thought they would…
