Estimating PI

[pchoate]

Hey - I found an extremely fast way to estimate PI using excel. Anyone interested?

 

[Todd Bardoni]

Yeah. Instead of asking if anyone's interested, just do it...

Whats wrong with the formula for PI that's already in excel ? eg = PI()


Excel help info on PI;

PI
Returns the number 3.14159265358979, the mathematical constant pi, accurate to 15 digits.

Syntax
PI( )

That's what I was wondering. He's got my curiosity, though! Maybe he takes it out a lot further(?)!

 

[Nimrod]

Hmmm well I guess he wants to keep us in suspense ...........:wink:

Yes. Pi is one of my long time interests. I would like to know.

Maybe this is like one of those, "How do you keep a nerd in suspense..." jokes. :wink:
