Okay, so you can calculate the diameter of a gigantic circle with ~40 digits worth. Big deal. Most mathematical formulas that use pi aren't about circles at all.
I am wondering if there is a physical application that actually would benefit from more than 40 digits.
- nicbou 6y agoWhat are they about?
- rrmm 6y agoI'm sure GP means they are not explicitly about calculating a circle. Lots of values of pi occur in various formulas all of which end up going back to a circle or trig function at some point, (for example fourier transforms, normal distributions, any periodic motion, etc).
