Re: Science & Vie Article - hecube - 08-29-2009 Was that the article from 1980 which had several programs to calculate several hundred digits of pi?
Re: Science & Vie Article - Michel Lahcem - 08-29-2009 Yes
Re: Science & Vie Article - John Cadick - 08-29-2009 Thanks, John. I was able to translate the title; however my very poor French won't handle the text of the article. I just thought that perhaps someone had translated it or that there was an English or Spanish version of the magazine.

Re: Science & Vie Article - Palmer O. Hanson, Jr. - 08-29-2009 For a translation of a followon article on calculating many digits of pi go to Viktor Toth's site (www.rskey.org/) , go to the Library, go to Texas Instruments, go to PPC Notes and go to V8N4. You will find a translation on pages 21 ff. Edited: 29 Aug 2009, 10:26 p.m.
Re: Science & Vie Article - hecube - 08-29-2009 Is the original french article on the web somewhere?

Re: Science & Vie Article - hecube - 08-30-2009 That's not the one I remember, although I remember that one. The other one was published later and pitted the following calculators:
HP-41 It was another Pi shoot-out. I remember the HP-41 being declared the winner. That article was the spark that lighted my HP lust.
Anyone know what Science et Vie number that was?
