Computing π: Machin-like formula
Machin-like formulae are used to find many decimal places of pi, although why they work can seem confusing. This lesson shows how the Taylor Series of arctangent is used to compute π, and the power of combining it with Machin's approach, as well as covering the history of Gregory, Leibniz,
