iPi is a tiny little application who's main purpose is to calculate Pi, of course. The producer added some features to the core functionality just to have some fun.
The following formula was used to calculate pi: 4(1-1/3+1/5-1/7...+1/(2n-1)-1/(2n+1)).
Accuracy
34 decimal places is pretty accurate for home purposes, but if you really need to know, iPi displays the last calculation and the current calculation number.
