Pi has always been an interesting concept to me. A number that is infinitely being calculated seems almost unbelievable. This number has perplexed many for years and years‚ yet it is such an essential part of many peoples lives.

equivalent decimal values for presentation to or input from humans; computer programs express literals in decimal by default. (123.1‚ for example‚ are written as such in a computer program‚ even though many computer languages are unable to encode that number precisely.) Both computer hardware and software also use internal representations which are effectively decimal for storing decimal values and doing arithmetic. Often this arithmetic is done on data which are encoded using some variant of binary-coded

Introduction: It is‚ precisely‚ in the modern art gallery of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City‚ that Jackson Pollock’s painting‚ Number 28‚ 1950 hangs.

The techniques that Pollock utilizes to create
