I am writing a program that I believe to have a good infinitesimal between the real answer, and what I can provide as a suitable area in which to compare a circle and a square. I have also used this formula to create near equal representations of spacial area between spheres and cubes. I can even give you the near perfect unit of a sphere for looking up to a goodly amount of precision. The number is:
pow(h,3) - pow((h*0.68278405692189677),3)*pi
Where h is the input of a side of the cube. And the decimal number is the unit breadth.
This comes to nary 0.00000001 and below, as a difference. I'm sure this has many applications for at least packaging and some engineering. But as for here, the question is, is this laudable as an outcome for it.
The program can be found at https://github.com/thexiv/FMS/releases/tag/v4.0 It's the best my computer can accomplish. I want to know if this is good enough to be used by the public for math. If it does not accomplish that, I need to know why.
Is there a math that looks for the differences between curved and angles? Especially one that does squares and circles?

Can you be clearer about what your program does? I can't understand what you mean.

I don't understand what you're asking at all. You're proudly stating that you have done ... something? ... but where is there a question?

@thexiv I think it's more likely that people are downvoting you because the question isn't very clear, not necessarily because of a lack of research effort. I don't see how calculus is related to your problem. Any area can be attained by a circle or a square. If you want the area $A$, just make a circle with radius $sqrtfracApi$ or a square with edges of length $sqrtA$. I don't understand what you're asking.

You /can/ have a circle and square with the same area, see Jam's comment above.

"There's no set goal? I would've thought that the smaller the infinitesimal the better you've done it." You are surprised there is not a universal standard as to how accurate we'd like an unanswerable question to be ?????? Obviously if accurate to eight decimal places is better than 7 and 251 decimial places is better than 250. But neither of those are perfect. So how the heck can there be "$k$ decimals is not good enough be $k+1$ is". Anyway, I can't speak for engineers but mathematicians won't care at all for accuracy.
