Others?

Right now, the article only lists the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula as a spigot algorithm. Are there others? -- 128.104.112.85 (talk) 00:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - this MathWorld page gives a list of BBP-type formulae which can be used as the basis of spigot algorithms for various mathematical constants. The BBP π formula/algorithm is the best known example because it was so unexpected. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
