Cause there ain't no "real" ratio!!! It's just not rational!!!
It's actually something like 12 or 13 numbers. Something / Something + Something / Something... blah blah blah. I could find it if I tried hard enough.Originally posted by: Kenazo
Just curious, but while they are busy calculating pi to whatever decimal place they are at now, how do they do it? I had thought they had two numbers, did the calculations and voila, pi that goes on forever.
March 14 is the official day for Pi Day derived from the common three-digit approximation for the number Pi, 3.14. It is usually celebrated at 1:59 pm (3.14159). Parties have been held by mathematics departments of various schools around the world.
