The Ramanujan series provided a breakthrough in calculating pi to more decimal places from "summary" of A History of [pi] (pi) by Petr Beckmann

The Ramanujan series, named after the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, played a crucial role in the advancement of the calculation of pi to a higher degree of precision. Ramanujan, known for his remarkable contributions to the field of mathematics, provided a series that allowed mathematicians to calculate pi with greater accuracy than ever before. This series was a breakthrough in the quest to determine the value of pi to more decimal places, pushing the boundaries of mathematical knowledge. By utilizing the Ramanujan series, mathematicians were able to make significant progress in the calculation of pi, enabling them to uncover more digits of this irrational number. The series offered a new method that proved to be highly effective in achieving more accurate approximations of pi, leading to a deeper un...
