I thought you plotted it in python. along with the error table Sure. I thought you plotted it in python. along with the error table

Pi = n / 2 (sin (360 / n)) sin in degrees n {3,4,5,6,7 ...................... infinitely} n = 3 it is a triangle, n = infinity this is a circle Рајко Велимировић Србија I found a new formula for the number of PI = 3.141 ..
Pi = n / 2 (sin (360 / n))
sin in degrees
n {3,4,5,6,7 …………………. infinitely}
n = 3 it is a triangle, n = infinity this is a circle

The technique used here is called "Monte-Carlo Integration" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_integration. I used this technique (using C++) in my undergrad as well; to estimate the total volume of randomly generated spheres--3 dimensions as opposed to 2 here. Check it out in my portfolio http://www.matthewboston.com/portfolio/ under C++. Very nice.
