In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

On average, there are as many prime numbers for which the sum of decimal digits is even as prime numbers for which it is odd. This hypothesis, first made in 1968, has recently been proven by ...

Last year, a Japanese mathematician and a U.S. grad student smashed the world record for calculating the value of Pi. After a manic 371 days of computing, Shigeru Kondo and Alexander Yee reached 10 ...

Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden recently claimed a new world record for calculating the number of digits of pi – a staggering 62.8 trillion figures. By my estimate, ...

Just in time for Pi Day, a new world record has been set for calculating the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. On Thursday, Google revealed that developer advocate Emma Haruka Iwao, ...

Kota (Rajasthan): A 21-year-old Indian student has set a Guinness World Record by memorising 70,000 post-decimal digits of Pi, beating a Chinese who had held the record for 10 years. Rajveer Meena, a ...

While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

When you use the RAND function on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, by default the random number will be nine or ten digits long, extending well past the decimal point. The RAND function does not allow ...
