Online computation of some famous
constants
Thanks to the elementary programs described in the page
Tiny programs it is possible to
perform an online computationof some constants by a small
JavaScript program. Therefore your browser must support it if
you want to test this page! The maximum number of computed digits is
about 1000 but it can be increased inside the program (you can view
the source of this program using a command like View/Source in
your browser).
The available constants are Archimedes' constant
p, the number e, the square
root of 2, the Golden ratiof
and the logarithm of 2 and 3.
To compute a constant just click its
button
If you change the default number of digits click again on the
constant's button to update the value. If the number of digits is
important it may take a few seconds to perform the computation.
