Vi diskuterar metoder för att hitta närmevärden till pi via serieutvecklingar och komplexa tal, med hjälp av så kallade Machin-liknande formler. Vi ger även en kortfattad beskrivning av appxoixmationsmetoder som använts genom historien.The inverse tangent function can be used to approximate pi. When approximating pi, the convergence of infinite series or Products are of great importance for the accuracy in the digits in pi. This thesis will present historical Formulas used to approximate pi, especially Gregory-Leibniz and Machin's. Also, the unique Machin two-term formulas will be presented and discussed to show that Machin&
