It's March 14 again...

Happy Pi Day, everyone! Have a wonderful holiday. I hope you’ll all get a chance to spend some quality time today working math problems with family and friends.

No steak for me today.

22/7 is a lousy approximation, good to only two decimals. 355/113 is a pretty darned good approximation, good to six decimals.

And 3 is (of course) even worse! (Yet at least a couple of rules of thumb taught by CFIs rely on it.)

Anyway....

For you computer geeks out there, the ASCII code for π is 227 in decimal! (Hold down <Alt> key, type 227 on numeric keypad, release <Alt> key. Use 0176 for a ° symbol!)

There's pie..??

 

[Half Fast]

All together, now, for the pi cheer...

Tangent cotan cosine sine,
Three point one four one five nine!
Yeeeea, pi!​

Another irrational thread.

 

[Half Fast]

Another irrational thread.

With no end in sight....

 

[SkyDog58]

Seems to be a constant.

Seems to be a constant.

Seems to be, but can we really be sure that it's not slowly changing in the 1,000,000,000,000,000th decimal place?
