=== Elementary proof with integral calculus === The Gauss-Legendre algorithm can be proven to give results converging to π using only integral calculus. This is done here<ref>{{citation|title=Recent Calculations of π: The Gauss-Salamin Algorithm|last1=Lord|first1=Nick|doi=10.2307/3619132|year=1992|journal=The Mathematical Gazette|volume=76|issue=476|pages=231–242|jstor=3619132|s2cid=125865215 }}</ref> and here.<ref>{{citation|title=Easy Proof of Three Recursive π-Algorithms|last1=Milla|first1=Lorenz|arxiv=1907.04110|year=2019}}</ref>
