So I found someone's website where they have developed a program that using the 'Spigot Method' of calculating Pi to any number of decimal places, so for your entertainment, here are the first 3000 digits of Pi, which took less than a minute to calculate using this program.
The actual number is in the extended entry part of this post.
Today in class, us students got the opportunity to work on our assigned projects and discuss our results. We found out that when the dinominator was a square root form 2,5 or 10, or a number that we could get by adding 2,5 or 10 to the power of anything, that we just have to add the power, which then equals the number of decimal places. This method ONLY works for non-recurring decimals!
By the way, i am very sorry it took this long, i just kept on forgetting about it...
