Newton used infinite series to compute π to 15 digits.

Archimedes developed the polygonal approach to approximating π. A dark Baroque oil painting depicting Archimedes leaning over a cluttered table in deep thought, his chin resting on his raised right hand. He has dishevelled grey-brown hair and wears a coarse brown robe with a white linen sleeve. On the table before him lie sheets of paper with geometric diagrams, an open book, a quill in an inkwell, a compass or dividers, and a small framed mirror or tile. His left hand rests on a luminous celestial or terrestrial globe. Domenico Fetti - http://archimedes2.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/archimedes_templates/popup.htm
Portrait of Isaac Newton (1642-1727). This is a copy of a painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller (1689). James Thronill after Sir Godfrey Kneller - http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/art/portrait.html An oil portrait of Newton shown from the chest up against a dark brown background. He has long, voluminous grey-silver hair falling to his shoulders, sharp cheekbones, and a direct, penetrating gaze. He wears a dark brown coat over a loosely open white shirt with no cravat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#/media/File:GodfreyKneller-IsaacNewton-1689.jpg
Einstein in Pasadena, California, 1931 Associated Press - https://www.voanews.com/student-union/student-74-follows-einsteins-footsteps https://www.apimages.com/metadata/Index/DEU-Forschung-Quantenphysik/ce5580ea4cbd4e4d8098482dbc0cf90f/36/0 Albert Einstein writes a density formula of the Milky Way on January 14, 1931 on the board of the Carnegie Institute of the Mt. Wilson Observatory in Pasadena, California. Text for a tensor element is R_ik = 0 written in large chalk letters on a dark blackboard, Einsten turning his head toward the camera with an alert, animated expression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#/media/File:Albert_Einstein_writing_on_a_blackboard_in_Pasadena_(1931).jpg

Many vertical pieces of string with knots along their lengths, fixed together by a long, horizontal piece of string.
Regularly arranged series of holes stretching along a mountain ridge.
The #Inca kept detailed records using khipus: devices made from knotted string.
The famous monument of Monte Sierpe (aka Band of Holes) was segmented and arranged similarly to a khipu, indicating it was used for accounting #MathematicsDay

On #mathematicsday, let's talk about maths anxiety, a barrier to #STEM careers.
1 in 5 people feel anxious about maths, with girls affected more than boys (#2024GenderReport)
What drives the gap?
