A Brief History of Ï. Pi has been known for almost 4000 yearsâbut even if we calculated the number of seconds in those 4000 years and calculated pi to that number of places, we would still only be approximating its actual value. Hereâs a brief history of finding pi:he ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet (ca. 1900â1680 BC) indicates a value of 3.125 for pi, which is a closer approximation.
(Last updated: February 23, 2013) For anyone who is interested, this was recently the topic of a Stack Overflow question that I answered. October 17, 2011: The record has been improved to 10 trillion digits. This is a followup to our previous announcement of our computation of 5 trillion digits of Pi. This article details some of the methods that were used for the computation as well as the hardware and the full timeline of the computation. Some of you knew this was coming... It was just a matter of when.
