I find it easier to memorize many digits of pi than to remember the formulas for approximations. Also, avoid if strong language offends you. Read if math humor does not. —Alorael, who can get away with these things because he is a mod and therefore not subject to any rules. Also he pays bribes.

Who came up with pi anyway? And how do they know it's 3.14? They could have been wrong and it's 5.274, or 2.4896... -------------------- Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle, melloneamin. --------------------- Finder of impossible beta testing errors.

Archimedes, a mathematical physicist, found pi. Pi is what the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter is. Wikipedia has an atricle about archimedes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes [ Thursday, March 15, 2007 13:46: Message edited by: Excalibur ] -------------------- WWJD?

Pi day is over. It was fun watching people argue about pi, but now it is the Ides of March. Go to that thread and argue there. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

By Excalibur: quote:Yes, but the problem is determining the digits of pi to great accuracy. Short of creating a gigantic circle in the middle of Saskatchewan and making measurements, Leibniz's formula is what we'll have to use. -------------------- Warning: Has been found to cause cancer in laboratory mice. - Label on a box of rat poison Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |
