Pi day
In an earlier activity, you were able to approximate \(\pi\) to two or three decimal places; however, it took quite a while for the computer to get to that level of precision.
We are going to try to find a faster way to estimate and, at the same time, reveal how many core processors our computer has.
Optional: Record the data in a spreadsheet and analyze how long it takes for the program to run versus the number of “workers” to determine how many cores are in your CPU
