Also another interesting observation.
Am I wrong in assuming that it will greatly improve
decimal digit accuracy for pi with large a1,a2 and a3?

Once you have reduced the other column elements
mod 0.00001717 ( = r3), you will have at least
6 digit approximation for a1,a2,a3 of about
300/0.0002. As you continue to take row nultiples
avway from each other, you could get lucky and find
another pair or triplet of values very close
together, which means a relatively small increase
in a1,a2,a3. Even though you can approximate
pi to 100 decimal places or more, the formulas might
contain integers with 1,000,000 decimal places and that is not as
pleasing as a "surpisingly good" approximation
with "significant" small integers, such as primes or powers.

If the sqrt(2) is acceptable

((17^2)p^2 - 95e^2)/((22^2)sqrt(2)) = 3.14159265//42..

Gives pi to 8 places and has two relatively small integer squares.

Interesting, and yes it should be ecceptable
where I overlooked the (sqrt) operator.
I should also include sqrt(n) as an operator as long as
(n) is an integer.
The new criteria --(-,+,*,/,(sqrt),^n) and having pi
and (e) within the equation and either pi or (e) as the result.

The other criteria is the same as above but having an integer
as the result as with the case of e^(pi*(sqrt(163))) ~
262537412640768744
or using the natural log of (e) along with pi-
((log(1.92932559972567304972024812259531566433349783047577528040155793074025543587927999223373032998386289025375167228752542895869119788592042536004022640601542769951592967417765008384707347928761185634055546471521383604751331331401391405583924e

(entering in the kitchen... :-))

Start for example with :
pi^3 - 2 pi/10^3 ~= 31
and replace one of the terms appearing (pi, 2, pi, 10^3, 31) by
another term so that the equality 'become more exact'.
For example 10^3 should be replaced by
2*pi/(pi^3-31) = 1001.036377...
so that 1001 should be better but not good enough...
subtract 1000, take the log, invert and you get nearly 28 so that
pi^3 - 2 pi/(10^3+e^(1/28)) ~= 31 with more precision

and you got another approximation :
31/(Pi^2-2/(10^3+e^(1/28))) = 3.141592653600...

Of course I used other recipes :
- integer relations algorithms (extension of continued fractions)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_relation_algorithm>
(I use lindep() in the excellent pari/gp
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html>)
- combine two (or more) relations in one for example by dividing
the errors in the two relations and replace the result by a fraction
- add more error terms using integer relations applied to the
logarithm of the |error term|, log(e), log(pi), log(2)... (trick to get
a multiplicative answer using an additive algorithm!)
- of course many other tricks may (and should :-)) be tried!


Let's use this with pi^2 + pi/24 ~= 10 :
- search a better fraction than 24 => 2337/97
- get a new result (without 'e' terms) :
10/pi-97/2337 = 3.14159265730...

- compute the log of the error term : a= log(10/Pi-97/2337-Pi)
- use the integer relation algorithm (changing precision...)
lindep([a,1,log(pi),log(2)],8) -> [-1, 72, 14, -155]~ so that
|-log(10/Pi-Pi-97/2337)+72*log(e)+14*log(pi)-155*log(2)| << 1
- conclude that the error term was near e^72*pi^14/2^155

- continue these iterations to get :

10/pi-97/2337 = 3.14159265730...
10/pi-97/2337-e^72*pi^14/2^155 = 3.141592653589804...
10/pi-97/2337-e^72*pi^14/2^155-e*(e/pi)^114/2^24 =
3.141592653589793238465869...
10/pi-97/2337-e^72*pi^14/2^155-e*(e/pi)^114/2^24-2^84/e^31/pi^65 =
3.1415926535897932384626433800...

I'll stop here and let you play with all that too!

Enjoy!
Raymond

Perhaps that this output will clarify my notations :

exp| - ------ | - 24 PI - ---------- + 240
