PI Explainer

π (Pi) is a mathematical constant that represents an irrational number, meaning its decimal representation goes on infinitely without repeating. While Pi can theoretically be calculated to an infinite number of digits, achieving high levels of accuracy becomes increasingly challenging as more digits are calculated. For instance, the commonly used approximation of 22/7 yields an accurate value of 3.14, but it begins to diverge and lose accuracy beyond the second decimal place.

Why AI?

For centuries, mathematicians have developed series and algorithms to calculate π with incredible precision, reaching millions, billions, and even trillions of decimal places. These methods are well documented, and programming languages like C, along with precision libraries like GMP, have a long history of application in advanced mathematics. This provides an ideal foundation for leveraging a well-trained large language model (LLM) and generative artificial intelligence to write code and analyze results. That is the purpose of this site.

Using This Site

Over 95% of the content, code, and data files on this site were created or enhanced using generative AI. The result is a collection of tools specifically designed to generate and analyze high-precision versions of the mathematical constant π. Additional content has been provided to complement these tools and encourage visitors to explore further and build upon this work. As you will see from the journey log, not all went as planned.

To get started, explore the site’s various calculators (including source code) or download various precision files in text, csv, PDF, or JSON formats.
