Hi Eve - just found you. Love your work. I calculate Pi this way: A quarter of a circle with a radius of 2 has: a) an area of Pi b) a circumference of PiI simply iterate triangles until I reach the accuracy of the computer & language. Here is MS word basic output using calculating area:
Max accuracy reached at iteration 28 Calculated Pi => 3.14159265358979 Iteration => 28 No of triangles => 268,435,455 Pi => 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510... (for reference) This is end of Loop
