I was browsing in the book Pi - Unleashed by Arndt and Haenel, published by Springer. It is an awesome book about the various types of methods that mathematicians developed over the years. The book tells the stories of who, when, and how various mathematicians calculated appromixations for pi. The book lists various equations and includes the number of accurate digits generated by each equation. It is a fascinating read! I highly recommend it.

Namir, it looks interesting, but at $200 a throw, they're not going to sell very many.
