Yay! It's 3/14 1:59 pm! Happy Pi Day!!

You're a minute off. :p (Not counting the hour difference with GMT and EST.)

Did You Know?

It's Einstein's birthday... on 3/14

Every say happy bday to Albert!

It's not a coincidence...Einstein must have know what pi was to INF decimal places...it's a secret message...

So...who's interested in joining this new occult?

You got the official Day-After-Pi-Day Day Time Stamp. (15 March 2003, 01:59 GMT)

The next official nerd holiday is...... e DAY!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Someone check me, I worked it out to be April 12 (71st day of February if February had that many days, but on a leap year it would be April 11 :p ) Unfortunately, April 12 is a Saturday...

The official time is 12 April 2003, 08:28:18 GMT. Unfortunately, that is 3:30 AM here, but since it IS a weekend, I might be able to stay up. :p

Where can we find e to 200 decimal places, and I don't mean approximating with Y1=(1+1/X)^X...

You can never start preparing too early. :p

The URL above has 100,000 >:)

This URL is the "Top ln(e^10) Reasons e is Better then pi" according to the author... (same site as above):

This is e to 2 million:

This is the Google search I used to find this useless (NOT!) junk:
http://www.google.com/search?
q=euler's+number&sourceid=opera&
num=25&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

It's time to start cramming and making study programs for this!!!

BTW, is there a constant 'd'? If there is, there can be a d*i*e = die day... <scary music>Who wants to come to my DIE Day party?</scary music> Actually, for it to be possible, it has to be d*i^2*e or it would be an ERR:UNREAL ANS, and you can't have an unreal date, but then that (d*i^2*e) would be negative (unless d is negative), so i would have to be d*i^4*e, but then to make it DIE day, it would need to be (die)^4, but that might be a number that is too large to correlate to a calendar... Sigh... Make it "(die)^4 Hour" or something. :p

e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + 1/4! + 1/5! + ... + 1/n!

Sweetness... I ran it out to 20 with a simple BASIC prog and it matches the built-in e to as many as I can yank out of it... Cool...

Me too! :) prgmE It was only about 7 lines, though :) I didn't upload it because it's so much easier to type e^1.

On the 83+, it's e-ven e-asier: e
There's a e^( 2nd function (on ln( ) and a e 2nd function (on /).

LOL on the 82 you have to type the exponent. Another weird thing about 82 vs. 83/+... in the sequential graphing, the 82 only supports U(n-1). For the TI-83+, you can get any subtext in there that you want. At least it's less typing on the 82. Another weird thing... to do a regression and store it to a Y= value, on the 83+ you do <regression name> [<list>,<list>[,<function>]]
On the 82, you do <regression name> <list>,<list> then goto Y=, scroll to the function you want, and do [VARS] [5] [->] [->] [7]. *cry*

No, you can't do U(n-3) or U(n-314)... Only U(n-1) or U(n-2) (TI-83+ Graphing Calculator Guidebook, p. 6-3) I tried this:

nMin=1
u(n)=u(n-1
u(nMin)={1}
v(n)=v(n-2
v(nMin)={1,2)
w(n)=w(n-3)
w(nMin)={1,2,3}

I gave ERR:INVALID and pointed to the w(n)=w(n-3).

Aw, darnit, I thought you could. *cry*

Hey, you could do the fibbonachi sequence really easily with the u(n) thing.

It *should* be easy to transform pi-learners to e-learners if it stores a string of numbers: Just change said string and make it say "Learn e" instead of "Learn pi".

*Gets right on it to have the first e-learner posted this year.*

Yee-Haw! Those archivers are kicking butt! Files uploaded as soon as you can send 'em in!

Learn Pi: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/ files/fileinfo/276/27606.html
Learn E: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/ files/fileinfo/276/27607.html

Knock your socks off!

Yup, I saw 'em on the main screen. Good job :) I thought it was you because of the QBASIC folder thing in there (you were talking about that earlier)... and then I saw the author name. :)

I'd just like to point out that the 99% of girls only applies to non-nerds.

As to the reciting Pi, it would take me more than a minute (way more then a second), and would be right in the middle of English class, the Nerdsum of English class=1.

So um yeah. And happy Pi day.

Female nerds are rare *cry* Too bad. ;)

to tell the truth, they just hide it better. Being a nerd isn't seen as a positive thing, and, for some reason or another, female nerds seem better at hiding it.

Of course, male nerds act very odd......remember that Laura something hoax a few years back? lol I think her account's still here;)

Aww, darn, it's probably before my time here :(

Being is nerd is a GOOD thing! Look at the average nerd's GPA compared to the average dumb jock's GPA.

lol...when I first read "average dumb jock" I thought it said "average dumb jrock"! I was about to get really defensive....I felt really dumb after rereading it...

LOL! Sorry about that ;-) That's pretty funny, actually! :)

What does it mean (and be nice) when you're a Nerd/geek/
...etc. w/ a jock's GPA?(besides really sad)


(Not challenged enough, to bored to do the work?)
PS. My last officially recorded I.Q. ='ed 111.[IQ is flawed
-its ...<can't remember word>......ah!, damn can't reme
mber, iq is irrelevant?-(def. of forgotten word: not precise)

An IQ is only used to estimate the learning POTENTIAL. It is not necessarily how smart you are.

I was smart...

my iq was taken by the school psycolady... it was 176! jesus christ... no wonder i can like 'predict' what someone is gonna say in the end of his/her sentance EVERY SINGLE TIME! it gets annoying
i wonder...
i only remember 3.14159, but that's cause i never tried to learn pi!
hah... my teacher is algebra 1-b.... but... she takes the calc hw i hand in and i get an a anyway :)

lol... wonder what mine is :)

60-70?
60 and below is mental retardation :)

Hey I can predict stuff like that too!

3.141592653(5-maybe) for me.

Its not that hard if you are around a person for a little bit because your mind automatically anylises (I can't splle either) their speah patterns and behavior...I do the same thing and it drives me nuts because I do it all the time.

I tried to remember pi a long time ago, but I decided to resist the urge to fullfill my nerdyness.
