I love this guy's youthful energy, it reminds me of Maths Smiths as The Doctor.

// edit: I just threw this together, confirms his hard work...
//for each of p=[1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19] add by 1/P where P is -p for 3,7,11 etc.
var p=[1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19],v=0,i=0,L=p.length,n;for(;i<L;i++){n=p[ i ],v+=1/(i%2?0-n:n)};console.log(4*v);

//over time the result is closer to PI as your primes extend well past 19... //e.g. (100)="3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97"

...a sculptor who uses pencils and elastic bands.


^ he highly recommends the various other works by a  TRUE GENIUS sculptor of mathematics:

Matt Parker talks about what makes 277777788888899 so special...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wim9WJeDTHQ

...comments argue about whether he should be upgrading to Python 3 instead of Python 2 >_<
