This is a really good write-up about Gauss and the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean.

This is a nice related problem about the area v perimeter of a squircle.

Cheers to my Patreon supporters for whom I have dedicated one digit of Gauss's constant each. It was their inspiration who made me do the 'multiple Matts' thing. You can also help support and shape the videos I make!   / standupmaths  

CORRECTIONS
- If you feel a sense of déjà vu: yes, the two sections at 16:13 and 16:45 cover the same content. I tried saying it two different ways and we accidentally left both in the edit. So, let's call that 'buy one get one free' sale on learning.
- At 21:42 I say "geometric mean" instead of "arithmetic mean". And that is probably not the only time. These words have lost all meaning to me.
- The Patreon credits stop early! Long story. I'll explain on Patreon.
- Let me know if you spot any other mistakes.
