What an impressive feat of mathematical programming, too bad Python can't handle the sheer awesomeness of the Chudnovsky Algorithm. The C languages are great for this kinda thing though, so I hear.
Yes, it is unfortunate. I've been considering learning Java and C at some point, but I just do not have the time anymore, since school started back up online (-__- )
@IreoluwaRaufu Ha ha, lucky for me, my GPA has been tanked since the BEGINNING of the year! Really though, good luck, I hope all goes well with your GPA.
(NOTE: It only does 18 iterations, as if you try to do any more, it raises an OverflowError, how lame.. -__-)
わーい, another π approximation method! (I do love these things. π is gorgeous, is it not?)
This is one of the fastest formulae for π out there, used to approximate out to 50 TRILLION DIGITS of π, in January of this year!
The notation for this in Σ is very long, so I have provided a screenshot of it, from its Wikipedia page:
Feedback is greatly appreciated, please enjoy!

(EDIT: Wow! I am glad this was a bit of a conversation starter for you all, thank you so much for all the upvotes!!)
(EDIT 2: I am still getting tons of traction on this, and am glad it is so interesting to all of you. Thank you so much!)

@LizFoster Ikr, you'd think an online school would make things easier, but nope.
@IreoluwaRaufu Exactly! It feels like there is twice as much work...
@LizFoster And it's such a struggle to stay organized and keep in touch with teachers... I hope my GPA doesn't tank before the year is over. 😓

@LizFoster Thanks a bunch, best of luck to you too!
@IreoluwaRaufu Oh, thank you! ^ ^* I appreciate it.
