Let continue the serie of computation of mathematical constants that we started with Euler Number. This time our target is π, the famous “3.14” ratio between circumference and diameter of a circle. Since out target is to compute one million digits in few minutes this post will use concept of code optimization. Like e, π… Continue reading One million digits of Pi

Mersenne Primes and Perfect Numbers
Primes are a fascinating group of integer numbers. They definition is short and clear (a prime number is a number that can be divided without remainder only by itself and 1), there are infinite primes and “quite frequent” (for number of n digits they are about n/(log n), so one number every log n is… Continue reading Mersenne Primes and Perfect Numbers
Computing 1 million digits of Euler’s Number
With this thread I start a new mathematical and computational branch: the art of computing decimals of particular mathematical constants. The first one will be e, the Euler’s number, about 2.7182818284, which is the base of exponential function ex, the only function equal to its derivative. Its inverse is the natural logarithm ln x, or… Continue reading Computing 1 million digits of Euler’s Number
