| Popis: | Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 B.C.) created the first known recursion process for estimating the value of π. The “classical method” of Archimedes is developed and programs for the TI-81 calculator are given for finding the upper and lower bounds. This classical method is compared with the Gregory-Machin infinite series method (after 1706). A Tl-81 program is given for this method. |
