Subject: RE: BS: The Ingredients of Pi
If you want an interesting read on the subject of Pi, try to find a copy of "The History of Pi" by the late Petr Beckmann.

He traces all the attempts to quantify the relationship between the diameter and circumfrence of a circle from the Egyptians to the computer age, but with humor and wit.

Numbers junkies will learn a lot and be entertained at the same time!
