Later many authors have been going on to study and use the AGM algorithms, see, for example, the book Pi and the AGM by Jonathan and Peter Borwein.
The BBP is a summation-style formula that was discovered in 1995 by Simon Plouffe and was named after the authors of the paper in which the formula was published, David H. Bailey, Peter Borwein, and Simon Plouffe.
He is known as a co-author of the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe algorithm for computing π.

While he was there, he, his brother Jonathan Borwein and David H. Bailey of NASA wrote the 1989 paper that showed a proof for computing one billion digits of π.

Bailey is perhaps best known as a co-author (with Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe) of a 1997 paper that presented a new formula for π (pi).
