What is Archimedes about?
Archimedes calculated pi using geometry by drawing circles and polygons inside and outside circles. He determined the circumference of 96-sided polygons to find pi was between 3.1408 and 3.1428. While calculus did not exist then, Archimedes relied on existing geometric knowledge to explore new methods for calculating pi, as mathematicians often use prior work to discover new variations rather than entirely new concepts.
