Happy Pi Day

[egon]

"How many seconds are there in a year? If I tell you there are 3.155 x 10^7, you won't even try to remember it. On the other hand, who could forget that, to within half a percent, pi seconds is a nanocentury."
- Tom Duff, Bell Labs

Pi, in the wild...

Hahahaha, I remember mole day for chemistry, our teacher made us go out at 602AM on october 23.

 

[Ms. Lobsterdmb]

Not only is it Pi day but it is Lobsterdmb's birthday!


P.S.: Matt, you are a geek!

What, and we didn't tell the Hooter's girls this little fact. I bet John feels gypped.

After we saw what they did to the poor child at the next table over, I almost did it on principle anyway.

Here's my fun pi fact for the day:

-2i ln(i) = pi

(that's imaginary negative two times the natural log of the square root of negative one)

:lecture:

I used to be able to prove it...it involves combining Taylor polynomial expansions for sin, cos, and the definition of e...

 

[BBeach]

Taylor polynomials are boring, thats what calculators are for.

uh, i so lost, i took chemestry in high school but failed miserably, i has no idea what they were talkin about

 

[BBeach]

Pi is just the constant multipled to the diameter of a circle to find the circumfrence, but it has tons of other uses. More math than chem.

[OverlandZJ]

[scarface]

for instance it is the code (314) to the snack room at work... not my choice.
what can I say work with some dorks...:looser: engineers and all

 

[BBeach]

huh?

Eh just google it. :eeks1:
