The picture up top is adapted from a rather simple but effective piece of data visualization, created by the folks at design studio TWO-N, which represents the first four-million digits of Pi in a brilliant mess of interactive pointillism.

This is a walk made out of the first 100 billion digits of pi in base 4 with the following rules for the steps: - 0 right - 1 up - 2 left - 3 down The color indicates the path followed by the walk: it starts at red and moves up the spectrum...

Of course, the number of digits in π is infinite, but over the years, as computers have become more powerful, we know many more of them than ever before. But it’s one thing to say that I can download trillions of digits of π and another to make some sort of sense out of all of these digits. Into this steps a team of researchers from Australia, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Simon Fraser University with some elegant visualizations of π. In a recent paper, they used a classic method of visualizing large strings of numbers: the random walk. More on "Pi": http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=pi
