How is Pi calculated?

617 views

Ok, pi is probably a bit over the head of your average 5 year old. I know the definition of pi is circumference / diameter, but is that really how we get all the digits of pi? We just get a circle, measure it and calculate? Or is there some other formula or something that we use to calculate the however many known digits of pi there are?

I’d pay a medium good money if he or she could invoke the great deceased mathematicians of the past to read this ELI5 topic. I think when all was said and done, their comments would look like a reddit thread. 🙂

Edit: And which would be the first to use the term “dafuqisthis?”
