Re:All Rational Approximations of Pi Are Useless by beefman on Monday October 01, 2012 @05:09PM (#4599362)
Kolmogorov complexity requires a standard Turing machine to measure -- switching notations isn't allowed. Rational approximations to Pi (or any other irrational number) vary substantially in terms of accuracy/size, which is why many standard libraries include functions for computing convergents.
