Klappentext zu „Pi - Unleashed “
In the 4,000-year history of research into Pi, results have never been as prolific as present. This book describes, in easy-to-understand language, the latest and most fascinating findings of mathematicians and computer scientists in the field of Pi. Attention is focused on new methods of high-speed computation.
Never in the 4000-year history of research into pi have results been so prolific as at present. In their book Joerg Arndt and Christoph Haenel describe in easy-to-understand language the latest and most fascinating findings of mathematicians and computer scientists in the field of pi.Attention is focussed on new methods of computation whose speed outstrips that of predecessor methods by orders of magnitude.The book comes with a CD-ROM containing not only the source code of all programs described, but also related texts and even complete libraries.

Rezension zu „Pi - Unleashed “
From the reviews: SIGACT NEWS "The book is sprinkled with many gems. The book is a treasure of information and is fun to read. The CD-ROM is in ready-to-run format (you can start using it right out of the box). Its inclusion alone is worth much more than the price of the book. I loved this book. In fact, I've pretty much run out of superlatives.I would recommend it to anyone who is just curious about pi, or about large-precision arithmetic in general, as well as to the professional who is looking to break the next N-digit barrier. Who knows, perhaps a reader will be inspired to invent a faster yet method for such algorithms."
