Instead of doing productive work, I just spent a few enjoyable minutes with Scilab finding approximations to pi of the form m/n.
Because I'm posting to a couple of nerd groups, I can be confident that most of you probably know 22/7 off the tops of your heads.
What interested me is how spotty things are -- after 22/7, the error drops for a bit until you get down to 355/113 (which, if you're at an equal level of nerdiness to me will ring a bell, but not have been swimming around in your brain to be found).
But what's _really_ interesting, is that the next better fit isn't found until you get up to 52163/16604. Then things get steadily better until you hit 104348/33215 -- at which point the next lowest ratio which improves anything is 208341/66317, then 312689/99532. At this point I decided that I would post my answers for your amusement, and get back to being productive.
Discrete math is so fun. And these newfangled chips are just destroying the joy, by making floating point efficient and cheap enough that you don't need to know little tricks like pi = (almost) 355/113.
