Pi in base e for arbitrary # of digits?

Posted 11 years ago

I'm trying to do the honorary "search for a signal in the digits of pi" bit for a presentation, which will have a bit of a plug for WolframAlpha if I get it working. I basically need a dump of digits of pi in base e. Ideally, I'd like to pick any digit position and save an arbitrary length of digits from that point. "pi to base e to 1000000 digits" in WolframAlpha seems to break down and only parse part of the query. Any suggestions? P.S. - I'd also like to do the same for the quantity sqrt(pi/2) as well as pi. EDIT: I should also mention that I have Wolfram Alpha Pro. Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but this is precisely why I bought server time with Wolfram Pro. I'd be more than disappointed if it can't handle anymore cloud time than the free version. I guess I was being naive that I could get a few megabytes of digit data without having to code it all from scratch.

No go, unfortunately. It didn't parse the input correctly. See below. UPDATE: RealDigits[Pi,E,50000] is interpreted as "Zip 50000" as well.

I don't have W\|A Pro, but the W\|A website times out if I ask for 50000 digits. Both work if I ask for 5000 digits. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=RealDigits[Pi%2CE%2C5000] http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=RealDigits[Sqrt[Pi%2F2]%2CE%2C5000] I didn't know you actually wanted 1000000 digits. I can send you the result from Mathematica, but if you are going to be doing lots of this type of thing, I recommend getting Mathematica Home Edition.
