Book 50 || Pi by Scott Hemphill

*Pi* by Scott Hemphill is a fascinating exploration of the history, computation, and cultural significance of the mathematical constant Ï€ (pi). Originally published in 1993 and now available in both public domain and print editions, the book delves deeply into the methods used to calculate millions of digits of Ï€, particularly focusing on Borwein’s algorithm and a custom divide-and-conquer multiplication technique coded in 68020 assembly language. Hemphill conducted these calculations on a 25 MHz HP 9000/370 computer, producing over 2.5 million digits of Ï€ with impressive precision. Beyond the technical details, the book also covers the broader historical context and amusing anecdotes related to Ï€, such as the infamous 1897 “Indiana Pi Bill,” which attempted to legislate an incorrect value for Ï€. With over 500 pages, the book offers both rigorous mathematical insights and entertaining stories that will appeal to programmers, math enthusiasts, and historians alike. Hemphill’s writing strikes a balance between technical accuracy and accessibility, making complex computations understandable while maintaining their intellectual depth. Whether read for its computational innovations or for its quirky historical side notes, *Pi* stands as a unique and engaging contribution to the literature on one of mathematics' most mysterious and celebrated numbers. https://www.mondalbooks.com/p/subscription_77.htmlAccess uninterrupted reading — subscribe today/preview" scrolling="yes">

The poem is much shorter than its predecessor, consisting of four books, and is characterized by its more restrained and contemplative tone. In Paradise Regained, Christ resists Satan’s temptations, thus "regaining" the paradise that was lost by Adam. The poem explores themes of faith, redemption, and the triumph of spiritual strength over worldly power. Milton’s portrayal of Christ as the ultimate example of patience and wisd...

At the time of Lincoln’s inauguration, several Southern states had already seceded from the Union, and tensions were running high. In his speech, Lincoln sought to reassure the Southern states that he had no intention of abolishing slavery where it already existed, but he firmly rejected the legality of secession, declaring that the Union must be preserved. Lincoln appealed to the common bonds shared by all Americans, emphasizing the importance of democracy, the rule of law, and the principles upon...
