Now he is living somewhere in Cumbria but still a Lib-Dem councillor.

It is a π summation formula discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe. The formula is named after David H. Bailey, Peter Borwein, and Simon Plouffe.<BR/>The discovery of this formula came as a surprise. For centuries it had been assumed that there was no way to compute the nth digit of π without calculating all of the preceding n-1 digits.<BR/><BR/>Here is another contribution for all you mathematicians out there ... couldn't resist Mr Plouffe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-77708655551894117472007-03-15T17:34:00.000+01:002007-03-15T17:34:00.000+01:00Does that mean you share your birthday with Pi day...Does that mean you share your birthday with Pi day every year?<BR/><BR/>Happy belated Pi/Birthday to you, young lady!Ms Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363385142330348970noreply@blogger.com
