This method involved inscribing and circumscribing polygons around a circle, eventually leading to the remarkable approximation of \u03c0 as \u2248 22\/7.**<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Birth_of_Analytic_Geometry_and_Infinite_Series\"><\/span>The Birth of Analytic Geometry and Infinite Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the 17th century, mathematics witnessed a revolution with the advent of analytic geometry and the development of infinite series. The French lawyer and mathematician Fran\u00e7ois Vi\u00e8te, in 1593, was one of the first to use an infinite series to determine an approximation of \u03c0. **Vi\u00e8te used an infinite product that involved square roots to obtain an approximation of \u03c0 accurate to nine decimal places.**<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leibniz_and_Gregory_The_Power_of_Series\"><\/span>Leibniz and Gregory: The Power of Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the late 17th century, mathematicians Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and James Gregory independently discovered formulas that relied on infinite series to find the value of \u03c0. **Leibniz&#8217;s series, which involved alternating signs and powers of two, allowed him to calculate \u03c0 with great precision. Gregory&#8217;s series, in contrast, converges more rapidly but was not as accurate as Leibniz&#8217;s.**<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enter_the_Calculus_Newton_and_Euler\"><\/span>Enter the Calculus: Newton and Euler<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The advent of calculus in the 17th century marked a watershed moment in the quest to calculate \u03c0 precisely. Both Sir Isaac Newton and Leonhard Euler contributed substantially to this endeavor. **Newton used calculus to derive the formula for the arc length of a circle, ultimately leading to a more accurate approximation of \u03c0. Euler, on the other hand, developed a continued fraction that provided an excellent approximation of \u03c0 with each iteration.**<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Rise_of_Computers_and_Modern_Techniques\"><\/span>The Rise of Computers and Modern Techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As computing power increased, mathematicians were able to calculate the value of \u03c0 to an ever-expanding number of digits. **John Wrench Jr., in collaboration with his wife, used a desk calculator in 1949 to calculate \u03c0 to 1,120 decimal places, breaking previous records. Later, in 1989, a supercomputer was used to compute \u03c0 to over one billion digits. Nowadays, powerful computers and algorithms are employed to calculate \u03c0 to trillions of digits.**<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_the_symbol_for_pi\"><\/span>1.
