Line 31:
:The n-th term is <math>1/n^2</math>. That's <math>10^{-2\ln(n)/\ln(10)}</math>, so with n big enough, you only add about 2n decimals when you add 10<sup>n</sup> terms. It's not efficient at all, if that's what you thought.--[[User:Grondilu|Grondilu]] 05:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
:: No, I didn't think it was efficient all all. I was musing about how often the number of (accurate) decimal digit increase. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 06:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
