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.
