Instructions

You will see the index increase slowly and the summation approach Euler's discovery that the summation is π^2/6. Remove the wait block to see how high the index needs to increase before accuracy reaches the millionths place. Mathland Project Ideas: 1. Remix this code to calculate the value of π using the summation being calculated.
