Abstract
Boys who have learned to find π using jam jars and string are often mystified to learn that the number has been calculated to thousands of decimal places: the infinite series and products usually quoted cannot be justified without analysis.This article is about a method whose derivation involves only elementary algebra and trigonometry (including square roots and Pythagoras), and whose use is a feasible proposition even when only four-figure tables are available for the square roots.
