A computer scientist claims to have computed the mathematical constant pi to nearly 2.7 trillion digits, using a Desktop PC.
Pi is an irrantional number, meaning the number of digits is contains can in theory go on forever.
And now it appears a Desktop PC has has gone further than any supercomputer has gone before by putting 2.7 trillion numbers correctly in place after the first 6 numbers, 3.14159.....
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
Some Helldivers 2 players are frustrated with some content still being broken, so read this article to see what that is all about.
Some?? Try all. Mechs are bugged, many weapons are useless including the newly renewed ones, stratagems are bugged or weak, we still get stuck in the terrain with no way out, and the list goes on. Good game but they need to fix the issues before doing anything else.
That's one hell of a big circle.
@ lol a chance out of 10 eh ,
i predict 7 :P
So whats the big deal about Pi?
Do we have to know a circumference or area of a circle so accurately that we need Pi calculated to so many decimal places?
Its going to make so little a difference to your final measurement is not really worth the effort.
I think calculating Pi is like the equivilant of bowling a 300 or getting a hole in one for maths nerds.
WOW, thats a cool story bro.
As THOR said Bathyj ''In practice using it to work out the area of a circle you would only need about 10 digits maximum'' but hypothetically if one of those 10 numbers were to change it would change the dimension of that circle.
So more the number as you know when doing maths gives us a much more accurate answer than rounding up figures and Pi aint just used for the circumference of a circle but in many things geometry, trigonometry, calculus , Probability and statistics and most importantly used in many physics equations explaining the universe.
