Gerson's Pi Program

[Ángel Martin]

Hi Gerson (and All),

Obviously pi continues to be a top-subject on the forum, with fascinating contributions being added every few months - and that happening for years already. Your latest ones have made me decide to put together a PI/E ROM as an attempt to gather in a common place (i.e. an HP-41 Module) some of the material the forum members have been producing. Since my math prowess is limited and won't allow for more substantial contributions here, this ROM is my tribute to the forum activity on the pi subject.

Obviously the selection is biased by my own preferences, but hopefully I didn't miss the more original or intriguing ones. Besides your latest articles, the sources used obviously include Valentín's wondrous challenges and frequent articles, a treasure trove on the subject. The hyperlinks and forum archives have also been very helpful to compile the material, of course.

To add some value to the project I've made MCODE versions of some algorithms, making them faster and slightly more accurate (due to the 13-digit routines) - though this is a negligible feature in the transcendental pi-world...

Anyway, be as limited as it may, the ROM should be ready in a few more days - ideally on the 14th. but no assurances are made ;-)

Thanks for the contributions, a lot of fun came from working on it.
Best,
ÁM
