In this math & Python post, I cover one way of approximating the value of pi in Python programming. It is based on this .pdf link here. That .pdf link mentions MATLAB but I'll use Python]]></description><link>http://direct.ecency.com/hive-163521/@dkmathstats/approximating-pi-squared-over-6-with-python-programming</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://direct.ecency.com/hive-163521/@dkmathstats/approximating-pi-squared-over-6-with-python-programming</guid><category><![CDATA[hive-163521]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[dkmathstats]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 13 Mar 2022 19:09:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://images.ecency.com/p/23KQwnti57stsAqnmyxQN5QPZRZvTFiCDfL7NC8SaXCTGutuM7gxnEWtc9AHWHBcMTXe2rqej26QLBAjLNUhuMV9ZhLBMpr?format=match&amp;mode=fit" length="0" type="false"/></item></channel></rss>
