the Greek letter π in a work he published
in 1748. 1.

approach to approximating π. 1.
JohnvonNeumann-LosAlamos, was part
of the team that first used a digital
computer to compute π. 1.
Srinivasa Ramanujan while working in
isolation in India, produced many
innovative series for computing π. 1.
Delete pictures and put in pictures of people they work with in their lives. They could have been someone who did not like them.
