High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! William Shanks (January 25, 1812 June 1882, Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, England ) was a British amateur mathematician. Shanks is famous for his calculation of to 707 places, accomplished in 1873, which, however, was only correct up to the first 527 places. This error was highlighted in 1944 by D. F. Ferguson (using a mechanical desk calculator). Shanks earned his living by owning a boarding school at Houghton-le-Spring, which left him enough time to spend on his hobby of calculating mathematical constants. His routine was as follows: he would calculate new digits all morning; and then he would spend all afternoon checking his morning's work.
