Abstract

In this work, we develop a new iterative method for computing the digits of $\pi$ by argument reduction of the tangent function. This method combines a modified version of the iterative formula for $\pi$ with squared convergence that we proposed in a previous work and a leading arctangent term from the Machin-like formula. The computational test we performed shows that algorithmic implementation can provide more than $17$ digits of $\pi$ per increment. Mathematica codes, showing the convergence rate for computing the digits of $\pi$, are presented.<br />Comment: 35 pages
