does anyone out there have a link to a website or something
that has a good amount of the # pi.

its like infinate i think... but id like to look at the
first several hundred #s or something

no he means the # itself. I have no idea, why dont you
search for it?

you can easily find sites with the first 10 million numbers
of pi, just search for it on yahoo

amazing

there is nothing in this number- people of ancient egypt
rounded off pi to 3. and they have built the pyramids...

yeah i know...

i really want to get into math...

i never liked it in school because it was just made to be
soooo boring (and my teacher was truely an idiot)

i want to learn about cool math stuff... patterns etc...

yea, same here, my math teachers were fucked, really ruined
it for me, but since i saw the movie pi, math has become
alot more interesting..

infinite digits, non-infinite number

it's an irrational number

math itself is definitely a good thang. u can apply it to so
many methods and to your logic!

thanks for the correction pachi

*pinches your monkey cheeks*

try physic's .... it combinees MATH and science in such a
GREAT way and IF you get the right teacher (like i did) will
be fun and BLOW you mind (in a good way) i fell more in love
with math after my first physics course!!

One year in highschool I had a horrible physics teacher. We
did nothing but play ping pong, and every answer on the
final was "A" (multiple choice). Didn't learn a goddamn
thing. But that was only one year, the others weren't bad.
In college my physics teacher was just boring, but I
learned.

to be honest, i don't kno a whole lot about the number, but
i do kno these following aspects:

1. why irrational? it houses non-terminating
decimals
, in other words, various decimals that go on
indefinitely. (algebraicaly speaking.) irrational numbers
always have non-terminating, non-patterned decimals. (i
think.)

2. the reason i don't think it's infinite is because
it does account for a definite amount.

3. pi is used in circular area/circumference
formulas.

4. pi is a greek letter that corresponds phonetically
with the roman "P"

i'm not sure it entirely holds tru, but that's my take on
it.

It's a very special number, Switch! Infinite digits with no
apparent repetition. There aren't a lot of those
kinds!

take it when i get back in school!

pi it's an irrational number.. this means it cannot be
expressed as a fraction p/q where p, q are integres.

a number can have infinte digits and still be a rational
number.. but you identify this ones because at some point
after the decimal point certain patter becomes periodic.

there are ways to turn any number with infinite periodic
decimals to a fraction of the p/q form.

for example

the number x=.345345345345...

we have 100x=345.345345345...

then 1000x-x=345.0

that is 999x=345

then x is 345/999

but you can't do this with an irrational number.

pi is an irrational number

and ?, so what if it doen't repeat itself !?, i still dont
get why people dedicate half there lives to this...
idiotic, some science geek will find a formula for it then
people are going to be like ohhhh so thats it... whats next
?

first 100x is 1000x.

i thin kit's pretty amazing that there are numbers that
aren't included in the ones of the p/q form.


 

offline Dozier from United States on 2002-07-11 07:08 [#00305402]
Points: 2080 Status: Lurker



there is a formula for it!

pi=circumference/diameter of any circle

But anyways, I don't love pi. But, Switch, you seem to hate
it! Now, pie, I love. What about you?


 

offline pachi from yo momma (United States) on 2002-07-11 07:08 [#00305403]
Points: 8984 Status: Lurker



yah, an example of a rational numba wit infinite digits
would be 1/3 in decimal form; 3.33333333333...

the digits are infinite but hold a tru pattern & repeat, but
the same cannot be established of irrational numbs

.3333333333333333333...*

that's 1/3 in decimals, sorry

Points: 4791 Status: Lurker



ah ah ... yes pi is c/d

but c and d will never be integer numbers (... -2 -1 0 1 2
....) at the same time.

and dozier there ARE a lot of those numbers.
squareroot of 2 is one of those numbers
e is another one.

squareroot of any prime number (xcept 1) is another one of
those.

in fact, between 0 and 1 there are infinite numbers of that
kind.

Sure, there are many, but probably none that affect
(indirectly) our daily lives to the same degree as Pi.

Sooooo.. does anyone like pie? I'm serious.

Points: 4791 Status: Lurker



and now that you mention that let me make an observation..

the number 0.99999999999....

is 1

1/3=0.3333...
3*(0.333333)=0.999999

but 3*(1/3)=1



 

offline Dozier from United States on 2002-07-11 07:24 [#00305418]
Points: 2080 Status: Lurker



isn't that why it's not a real number?

And, did you just state that 0.99999... is equal to 1?

although strictly speaking infinite trails of 9s don't

so a number x.abc99999...
is x.ab(c+1)

check out this bit of Google....loads of interesting info on
PI...

http://directory.google.com/Top/Science/Math/Recreations/........

Pi is the key to some beautiful stuff...

PHI is another cool one....1.618 & so on...all that golden
ratio/Fibonacci/Growth Patterns lark...do a google on
that...

You noticed :).....Google is def the best search engine out
there...I don't bother with the rest of em anymore as Google
does the lot...

I was a beta tester of the site before it went live to
everyone so I'm a little biased, I guess...

If you're on IE you can get a special Google Serach
Bar....Very very useful...

If u download a maths program (sorry can't remember which
one) just put the symbol pie in and say how many decimals I
think the max u can have is about 1,000,000,000,000 And
leave your computer running all night and it will show u
those decimals....then if u r still bored memorise them
