-READ- Press the green flag to begin the simulation, and press the space key or click on the screen to get the result of pi. The longer time you wait, the more accurate the result of pi will be when you press space or click the screen. The most accurate you can possibly get on this simulation is 3.141593, as Scratch does not allow further digits for a decimal regarding variables. #pi #calculate #Gregory-Leibniz #a #b #c #d #e #f #g #h #i #j #k
The method used in this project to calculate pi is the Gregory-Leibniz Series, discovered separately by Scottish mathematician James Gregory in 1671 and German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1673. It is also known as the Madhava-Leibniz series, as less famously, Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama discovered it earlier in the 14th–15th century. The Gregory-Leibniz Series is known to be very slow, and is almost never used when attempting to test as many digits of pi as possible. #pi #calculate #Gregory-Leibniz #a #b #c #d #e #f #g #h #i #j #k #l #m #n #o #p #q #r #s #t #u #v #w #x #y #z #all
