Gauss and π
2001
One of the fastest method of calculating π, if not the fastest of all, is almost 200 years old. It was invented by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) around 1800. It was subsequently forgotten and only unearthed 170 years later, when two researchers, Eugene Salamin [100] and Richard Brent [37] independently rediscovered it at the same time and turned it into the basis for superfast π calculations.
