Book Description
In the 4,000-year history of research into pi, results have never been as prolific as at present. This book describes, in easy-to-understand language, the latest and most fascinating findings of mathematicians and computer scientists in the field of pi. Attention is focused on new methods of high-speed computation. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the source code of all programs described, algorithms for pi computation, instructions for testing hardware with programs for pi computation, and complete high-precision libraries.
System requirements: HTML document in a standard CD-ROM file system (ISO 9660), platform-independent.
