(''ubiquitous'' constant) |

Line 15:
Are people missing that the number specified is not Gauss's? agm(1, 1/sqrt(2)) is about .85 and Gauss's, 1/agm(1, sqrt(2)) is about .83. Either way, I'll clarify that I think a task to compute a constant should a) specify an algorithm to be used, and b) specify the precision to be obtained. —[[User:Sonia|Sonia]] 19:07, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
:+1 on a and b. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
