Description
Pi can be approximated using a fraction, such as 22/7. This posters shows the accuracy of the best approximations m/n for m from 1 to 10,000. Each dot represents a value of m, arranged on an Archimedean spiral, starting with m=1 (top) and ending at m=10,000 (inside). The color encodes the accuracy of the best approximation for that value of m.
