Line 630: ::Somewhat straying from the subject but still quite interesting; the "Signed Zero" section of "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic" ( [ http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html ] ) --[[User:Guy Macon\|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon\|talk]]) 23:41, 29 September 2012 (UTC) == imho, the computation for Pi as shown actually computes only Pi/2 == The algorithm as shown to compute an approximation of Pi actually computes imo in this form only Pi/2, even while the output shown contains an approximation for Pi. I think either the values should be halved or the formula should be changed into : 12 * 2^i * t_i [[User:KeesLem\|KeesLem]] ([[User talk:KeesLem\|talk]]) 15:16, 21 February 2013 (UTC) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/130.161.210.156\|130.161.210.156]] ([[User talk:130.161.210.156\|talk]]) </span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
