Unusual way to achieve π: Generating Pi from random numbers
The purpose of this repo is to gather (programming) solutions for the peculiar procedure for generating / achieving π (Pi) that Matt Parker presented in this video.
Why
- In commemoration for Pi Day 2017.
- Having fun.
- No apparent logic reason.
How does it work
Since the Probability of Two (random) Integers Being Coprime is given by:
We can generate lots of numbers and calculate π by:
Watch Matt Parker generating π from 1,000 random numbers by rolling a dice on here.
Acknowledgments
All solutions are from these users (in no particular order), some are quite efficient others not so much. Regardless thanks very much.
