Re: A89: Re: help me too please!
I forgot to include that you must multiply the entire sum by four.
Sorry. It's not something that I need to reference often. It looks like
this:
4(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-1/11+1/13....)
I'm not sure how you got 1.78 though..... That's the exact program I
used except I had display 4y.
