#182 — Apollonian Gasket
Happy Pi Day 2024! In this video, I attempt to create an Apollonian Gasket using the Descartes Circle Theorem and complex numbers. So many circles!

Pi approximation
Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!
In this coding challenge, I use the Leibniz formula (aka infinite series) to approximate the digits of Pi and graph the convergence.
In this coding challenge, I use use a "monte carlo" method to approximate the value of Pi in Processing (Java).
