Can you calculate Pi using a Solver?

As a slight digression, in related explorations on the web I landed on a marvellous article by Alon Amit explaining nicely the nature of and the linkage between pi and e:

“So here, again, is the exponential function, stemming from its unique property as the fixed point of the operator d/dx. And here, again, is our friend pi, always accompanying its master of which it is the period (times 2i). And this, finally, is where pi comes from, and what it is, and there are no circles to be found.”

What is pi? also available here and in archived form here.
