Pi: The Next Generation
A Sourcebook on the Recent History of Pi and its Computation
This book contains a compendium of 25 papers published since the 1970s dealing with pi and associated topics of mathematics and computer science. The collection begins with a Foreword by Bruce Berndt. Each contribution is preceded by a brief summary of its content as well as a short key word list indicating how the content relates to others in the collection. The volume includes articles on actual computations of pi, articles on mathematical questions related to pi (e.g., Is pi normal?), articles presenting new and often amazing techniques for computing digits of pi (e.g., the BBP algorithm for pi, which permits one to compute an arbitrary b…
