That’s not the point of Pure Mathematics.

To prove the inequalities 223/71 < π < 22/7, Archimedes calculated the perimeters of inscribing and circumscribing polygons of 6, 12, 24, 48, and finally 96 sides. Here's an animation for sides 3 to 30.pic.twitter.com/91K3oxQgF0

But what made Achemedis to work so hard to arrive at this answer?

In 1910 Ramanujan found several approximation formulas for π including this series which computes a further 8 decimal places of π with each term in the series. The first term gives π≈3.1415927.. The sum of the first 2 terms gives π≈3.1415926535897938... π≈3.1415926535897932..pic.twitter.com/8o2rlrUlSn

Ramanujan didn’t have a formal education. University degrees are overrated perhaps
