| + | You can get an approximation of $\pi$ using only arithmetic operations by evaluating and summing a finite number of terms of this series. What is the numerical approximation of $\pi$ using just the first term ($k=0$)? Using the first and second ($k=0$ and $k=1$)? How many digits of accuracy does each of these approximation have? Be sure to use ''format long''. | ||
