Pi

p is a remarkable number. Books, chapters and web pages have been written to describe its various facets. There are even people crazy about it.

• A Common Book of Pi
• Eve Andersson's Home Page. Poems about the number and a non-trivial trivia game
• Notes on Pi (p)

Have you noticed that

• The last 5 digits in the expansion I cite are a palindrome 32823
• There is another one starting with th 19th digit: 46264
• Among 115 digits after the decimal point there are the following pairs: 33, 88, 99, 44, 99, 11
• There is a 5-digit stretch consisting entirely of powers of 2: 82148
• There is another consisting of multiples of 3: 69399

I also wrote a page, almost a lesson plan, suitable for middle schoolers. Determination of p.

The decimal digits of π are computed one by one. The hexadecimal digits may be computed independently by the Spigot algorithm.
