  1. Approximations of π

    Ferguson, D. F. (16 March 1946). "Value of π". Nature. 157 (3985): 342. doi:10.1038/157342c0. ISSN 1476-4687. Approximations for the mathematical constant pi (π) in the history of mathematics reached an accuracy within 0.04% of the true value before the beginning of the Common Era. In Chinese mathematics, this was improved to approximations correct to what corresponds to about seven decimal digits by the 5th century. Further progress was not made until the 15th century (through the efforts of Jamshīd al-Kāshī). Early modern mathematicians reached an accuracy of 35 digits by the beginning of the 17th century (Ludolph van Ceulen), and 126 digits by the 19th century (Jurij Vega), surpassing the accuracy required for any conceivable application outside of pure mathematics. The record of manual approximation of π is held by William Shanks, who calculated 527 digits correctly in 1853. Since the middle of the 20th century, the approximation of π has been the task of electronic digital computers (for a comprehensive account, see Chronology of computation of π). On June 8, 2022, the current record was established by Emma Haruka Iwao with Alexander Yee's y-cruncher with 100 trillion digits.
