COMMENT
|
Leroy Quet observed (Aug 01 2008) that the scatterplot produced by the "graph" display shows an interesting hexagonal pattern. Robert Israel (see link) noticed that this is more dramatic when one plots 10000 terms. Franklin T. Adams-Watters then commented as follows: "What we are looking at is basically a graphical representation of the continued fraction for pi (or more precisely, 2*pi). Robert Israel's graph is, I think, showing the famous good approximation pi ~ 355/113; the scatterplot seems to represent several convergents between 22/7 and 355/113.s" - njas, Oct 03 2008
