Cleve's Corner Computing Pi

Cleve's Corner on Computing Pi and three MATLAB programs.

Description

Computing hundreds, or trillions, of digits of π has long been used to stress hardware, validate software, and establish bragging rights. The many possible algorithms involve some interesting mathematics and some interesting people. MATLAB implementations of the three most important algorithms illustrate different styles of arithmetic in the Symbolic Toolbox.
