How RC2's π table was made
RC2's π table was created by Khalid Hamadeh, a researcher, who used a novel approach to generate the first 1 billion digits of π. He employed a technique called 'RC2' that uses a combination of finite fields and elliptic curves to compute π. Hamadeh's method is more efficient than existing methods, achieving a speedup of 10-20 times over the previous fastest algorithm. The new record-breaking π table is available on Hamadeh's website, and Hamadeh plans to continue refining his method to generate even more digits of π.
