Happy Pi Day!
Posted by Michael on 14 March 2006, 14:52 GMT

Once again, it is the world's most popular holiday, Pi Day! The entire ticalc.org staff wishes you a Happy Pi Day! Remember at 1:59:26 PM to shout "Pi!". Just like last year, in #tcpa on IRC we will be having coordinated pi shouts at every :59:26 each hour. I encourage you to join in on the fun.

There has also been a link floating around the internet for a few months, http://pi.ytmnd.com. I especially enjoy singing along.

The equation (Pi)R^2 is not true. Pi is round, and is used with circles. The equation should be (^3)R^2. I know this is a really stupid post, but no one has posted this yet. I shall stun the world with my increadible equation. Wahahahahahaha!!!!

Allow me to shake the foundations of nerdism and state the mind-rending question:

What is pi? What does it represent?

Pi is the.... hey, this must be a trick, so I won't tell you the real definition.

However, since nobody has posted more then pi = 3 and pi = 4... I will post all the pi I know from memory, and be proud of it as nobody has posted more. Yet.

40 digits! Be proud, as you are the first one to post a large continuation of the digits of Pi! Quite a feat on this message board. Also, if you are a geek, be proud of that too, and put many pi memorization programs on your calculator (if you have a 68k). Those marvellous programs are what allowed me to get where I am.

Ahem... 3. 14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 59209 74944 59230 78164 06286 20899 86280 34825 34211 70678 9. Currently up to 102 digits, all from memory.

Please everyone though, no one copy-paste any wikisource entries. That usually happens.

I think anyone who knows more than 3.14 is considered a nerd *rolls eyes*.

Or people who know it's 3.141592653 instead of 3.141592654, which is usually what is displayed on calculators.

in the modern world of today, that's called rounding up ... in which case the calculator is correct...

Pi is primarily the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. It is also the result of the equations -ln(-1)*i and ln(-1)/i. Also, e^(i*pi)-1=0.

Thanks, because in my math class, we have just started our geometry unit.

Oops. I meant e^(i*pi)+1=0, not e^(i*pi)-1=0.

Unless you live in hyperbolic space, in which case the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*sinh(r)...but if any of you live in hyperbolic space, how are you interfacing your computer with our Euclidean network connectors? :)
