Hi japhy,
Correct! I'm still looking for a little something more, though (I did ++ you). This algorithm historically is attributed to someone. Do you know who that someone is? (Hint: He's dead)

    Gregory and Leibniz both discovered that formula.
      You're right! They both discovered this algorithm independently of each other in the 1670's. -zeno
