How do you calculate Pi?

  Correction: Welsh mathematician William Jones first used "pi" to refer to this particular number in 1706, not Euler. Before then it was called the Ludolphian number.

  A much better approach is to use a spigot algorithm http://home.att.net/~srschmitt/script_pi_spigot.html http://home.att.net/~srschmitt/script_pi_spigot.html
