So it does not contain pi, it has to calculate it to an approximation. -xeno: "In all instances, the accuracy of the algorithms are compared to 
the Euclidean ideal, otherwise how could they tell which one was more 
accurate than the others?"-Sorry, there is no comparison going on here. The fact that one method of calculating pi is equivalent to another has to be shown by theory.-you ask: "I'm not 100% sure of your math background"-You may get a better idea from this section of my website:-http://www.mayhematics.com/m/m.htm-It's far from complete, and it's unlikely I will ever find time to complete it now, but the sections on Generalities and Numbers may help.
