Professor Yasumasa Kanada and a team of researchers set a new world record by calculating the value of pi to 1.24 trillion places, project team member Makoto Kudo said yesterday. The previous record, set by Kanada in 1999, was 206.158 billion places.
This record (above) has been superceeded as algorithms and computational speeds continue to improve
On August 17, 2009, Daisuke Takahashi announced that his team had calculated pi to 2.577 trillion places
On December 31, 2009, Fabrice Bellard announce he had calculated pi to about 2.700 trillion places.

What does pie in math equal?
'pie' does not equal anything in mathematics. 'Pie' can be eaten as an apple pie or a meat pie. If you mean 'pi' , note the spelling. then it approximates to. pi =~=3.14 pi =~=3.1416 pi =~=3.141592 pi = 3.141592.... It is an irrational number, which casually means that the decimals go infinity, and the decimal digits are NOT in any regular order. To date 'pi' has been calculated , by super dupa computers, to at least 50,000,000,000 ( 50 billion) places and still going. NB 'pi' is the small/lower case Classical Greek letter 'p' , and refers to proportion as in C = pi d ( Of circles). 'pi' is the constant of **p**roportion.
How do you calculate the area of a coil?
The area of a coil is calculated by pi r squared x length.
