A monumental feat of manual arithmetic: calculating pi by hand
Witness the result of a two-year endeavor to compute a massive new value of pi using nothing but manual calculation. This video celebrates the incredible precision achieved by the Pi-by-hand Committee.
The video showcases a new, highly precise value for pi, extending far into the decimals. This achievement is the culmination of a two-year project undertaken by the Pi-by-hand Committee. To ensure the mathematical integrity of the result, the project involved oversight from Steve Mould, who verified the legitimacy of the calculations.
Released just before Pi Day 202 lack, the presentation serves as a resource for educators preparing lessons for the mathematical holiday. The feat represents a significant milestone in manual computation, standing as the largest hand calculation performed in a century.
