Circumference of the Unit Circle

The problem of determining the circumference of a unit circle was once considered a great mathematical challenge. One of the major contributions Archimedes(287-212 BCE) made to mathematics was his method for approximating the value of 2*Pi. The aim of this maplet is to show his method for this approximation.
