Pi: Difficult or easy? Mathematical considerations for the multidigit computation of pi. (English) Zbl 0627.65016

The author discusses an introduction to the computational complexity concerning the multi-digit computation of the numbers \(\pi\), e and other few mathematical constants. He considers only power series, and no treatment on the acceleration of convergence, or other rapidly converging procedures to compute the above constants.
