PI IN NATURE
In 1952, the English mathematician Alan Turing compiled mathematical equations that describe how patterns are formed in nature.
His scientific work has shown that pi plays a role in patterns such as leopard spots, the location of leaves on a plant or zebra ribbons.
Suresh Kumar Sharma set a record by memorizing 77,000 decimal places in pi.
PI NUMBER DAY
The number pi is used in dozens of equations and most people know its approximate value as 3.14. The number Pi has its day March 14 (because in Anglo-Saxon countries, first month and then day is written when writing the date. That is 3.14).
At position 763, there are six nines in a row. This is known as the Feynman point.
INFINITE PI
The number Pi is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be written with the help of a fraction. It is infinite and mathematicians are constantly refining it. At present, we can calculate the value of Pi to 62.8 trillion decimal places (record from 2021).
Suresh Kumar Sharma keeps a record of remembering as many decimals of the pi number as possible, remembering the pi number to an incredible 77,000 decimal places.
The number PI (Ludolf’s number) is used in many calculations and in a number of equations. We encounter it for the first time when calculating the circumference and content of a circle. Most people know its approximate value as 3.14.
But the number pi has an infinite non-periodic decimal expansion, it is an irrational number.
For interplanetary flight calculations, NASA uses 15 Pi decimal places. For the average person, it only takes a few digits to develop the number Pi. The so-called piemy, which are literary units for remembering the number Pi.
The number of letters in each word corresponds to the value of the digit at that location:
The ratio of the perimeter to the height of the Great Pyramid is 44: 7, or 2×3,142. All the pyramids at Giza have a circumference-to-height ratio very close to 2 Pi.
The number Pi, also called the Ludolph number, indicates how many times the circumference of a circle is larger than its diameter. Very simple, but perfect definition 🙂
