The modern methods for calculating pi, using super computers, is based on a formula derived by the Borwein brothers and the Chudnovsky brothers and known as the Chudnovsky formula.
1/pi = 12/(640320^1.5)*sum[for k going from 0 to infinity of] [6k!*13591409+545140134k)}]/[(3k)!(k!)^{3}(-640320)^{3k}}]
