David Bailey has a brief explanation of the Pi digit algorithm on his
Web page at NERSC...
http://hpcf.nersc.gov/~dhbailey/pi-alg
Also check out "Recognizing Numerical Constants" by David H. Bailey and
Simon Plouffe at...
http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/organics/papers/bailey/paper/html/paper.html
and click on the link titled "Formulas for Pi and Related Constants."
More interesting stuff at...
http://www.multimania.com/bgourevitch/ref/ottawaPi.pdf
Where plouffe discusses some more of the math and reveals the 400
billionth binary digit of Pi.
Lots more if you use a search engine.
