What do people think is a good way to calculate an approximation of pi with scilab? I don't necessarily need the code, I can come up with that. I just need some ideas of what are good ways to approximate it.

Not sure is this is what you are looking for, but I found another gem in www.triusinc.com/techs. The files is Estimating_pi__scilab_Karahalios.pdf and here is the whole URL:www.triusinc.com/techs/Estimating_pi__s ... halios.pdf.

And I am uploading a copy attached to this message. I hope this answers your question.

That's great! A lot more than I was looking for (I was only looking for direction), but I'll take it. And, it came just-in-time. Thank you so very much.

Yeah, I found all sorts of gems in www.triusinc.com/techs. Apparently, one of the TRIUS partners had spent a lot of time in technical fields/industries and has been a fairly prolific writer of common sense technical papers. I recommend that people download and read some of the papers.

Yup, that TRIUS partner would most likely be Paris Karahalios (based on the filename you posted). Worked with him many years ago (35+) when he was still in the nuclear field. Prolific author and keen ability to come up with math and computer models for pretty much everything.
