The Bresenham line algorithm was such a breakthrough to me - talk about looking at a differential (partial differential) from an integer view, by a particular axis! Anyway, by extension, approaching a circle using similar is actually "relatively obvious".

[I'm self-taught, so some things aren't as obvious to me as they are to others, and I still get terminology wrong!]
