Extractions: TOKYO (Dec. 6) - A team of researchers at a leading national university have set a world record by calculating the value of pi to 1.24 trillion places, one of the researchers said Friday. Professor Yasumasa Kanada and nine other researchers at the Information Technology Center at Tokyo University calculated the value for pi with a Hitachi supercomputer over 400 hours in September, project team member Makoto Kudo said. The new calculation is more than six times the number of places in the record currently recognized by Guinness World Records - 206.158 billion places - which Kanada also helped calculate in 1999. ``We would need to verify it, but it sounds like Professor Kanada has broken his own record,'' Guinness World Records spokesman Neil Hayes said. He said a Guinness math expert would need to verify the data. Kanada's team spent five years designing the program used in the September experiment, Kudo said. The Hitachi supercomputer is capable of 2 trillion calculations per second, or twice as fast as the one used for the current Guinness record calculation. Pi, usually given as 3.14, is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and has an infinite number of decimal places.

Extractions: Scientists today are using algorithms developed by mathematicians in the past to program high speed computers, yielding larger and larger calculations of . The advent of the computer has allowed to be calculated to over 6 billion digits. The first computer calculation of was made in September, 1949 on ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), using the Machin formula. It took 70 hours to calculate to 2,037 places. During the years that followed, it became a challenge to calculate the largest number of digits of , just as it had been in earlier times. In the years between 1980 and 1990, the calculation went from a number in the millions to one in the billions. The current record for the calculation of is over 6 billion digits and the current record holder is Yasumasa Kanada, who hopes to one day calculate to over ten billion places. In September and October, 1995, using the HITAC S-3800/480, Professor Yasumasa Kanada of the University of Tokyo calculated decimal digits of . He used the Borwein formula, a 4 th order convergent algorithm. For verification of the results the

Extractions: 4:00 pm, Monday, November 27, 1995, 4169 Beckman Institute ABSTRACT: About five years ago I had calculated pi to 1 billion decimal places using the HITAC S-820/80 supercomputer. This year, I have calculated pi to 3.2 billion and 4.2 billion decimal places by late June and August, respectively, using the HITAC S-3800/480. The main algorithm used for the calculation was based on the AGM algorithm which was suggested by Salamin and Brent in 1976. For verification, I used a fourth order algorithm which was developed in the early 1980's by Jonathan and Peter Borwein. In order to generate more than 1 billion decimal places of pi, supercomputers, fast Fourier transforms for "big-number arithmetic" and the challenge of competition were all crucial. In my talk, I will include a discussion of how I successfully implemented the algorithms, and my future plans for a new record.

Extractions: Week of Dec. 14, 2002; Vol. 162, No. 24 Ivars Peterson The number pi ( p ) represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Starting with 3.1415926535897932384. . ., its digits run on forever. That hasn't stopped researchers from trying to calculate as many of those digits as computer technology and mathematical methods allow. Computer scientist Yasumasa Kanada and his coworkers at the University of Tokyo Information Technology Center have now succeeded in computing 1,241,100,000,000 decimal digits of pi, smashing their own previous world record of 206,158,430,000 digits, set in 1999. The calculation required about 602 hours on a Hitachi SR8000 computer, with access to a memory of about 1 terabyte. To calculate the digits of pi, Kanada and his team used formulas involving arctangent relations of pi. For instance, you can use the following expression to work out the value of the arctangent of x to any desired number of decimal places just by evaluating the series to a sufficiently large number of terms: arctangent( x x x x x x The value of pi can then be obtained from the following equation: p = 16 arctangent(1/5) 4 arctangent(1/239).

Extractions: by Ronald Khol, Editor No, the headline is not a question asking whether or not you know to more decimal places than 3.14159. My query concerns whether you know how is used in a mathematical sense. Of what utility is it? My reason for asking is that a team of academics led by Prof. Yasumasa Kanada at Tokyo University set a world's record for the number of decimal places to which has been calculated, establishing it to 1.24 trillion places. Now let's look at the opening paragraph of an article about the event written for the Associated Press. The article begins with: "To most people, it's a funny-looking Greek letter that has something to do with circles. To Professor Yasumasa Kanada, however, pi is an obsession." Good grief! So the Associated Press feels that most people think is just a funny-looking Greek letter having something to do with circles. I couldn't believe the general public is so uninformed about math, and I thought the comment was just another example of dumb-and-dumber reporting in the mass media. So I did an informal survey, asking several people if they knew how is used in mathematics.
