Mathematical Pi talk

This is the topic for us to talk about mathematical pi.

Uh… what to talk about? Unless someone wants to explain in detail the formula for calculating pi, there doesn't seem to be much to talk about… :D But I'm sure we'll figure something out. :)

We figured out what to talk abouit it on one of the other forums.

Do you know that many or would that just be a copy and paste thing?

I know this much: 3.141592654.

Uh… I'm not sure if the Memverse server could take that… :D I'm sure you were joking, right? :P

I'm assuming you haven't memorized the first 100,000 digits of pi, but is there a place online where you've found them? I'd like to see that sometime if there is. :)

I know of a website that has 1 million diits plus a "Pi Trainer". Here is a link:
http://www.eveandersson.com/pi/digits/1000000

Uh… WOW. That's a LOT of numbers. I don't even want to try to think about how much 10 TRILLION would be… o_O

So, I found a Christmas ornament in a catalog that has the first 1,000 (I think) digits of pi on it. Would anyone be interested? ;-)

whispers send it to Jimmy! :P jk

whispers That's not a bad idea! ;-)

Wow! Cool! I wish I had one of those. Mathematical pi is really interesting. :)

shouts at the top of her lungs JIMMY'S BACK!!!!! ;-)

joins in shouting !!! :)

covers ears ouch!! Would you girls please stop shouting?? ;-)

But, but, but…!!! :P lol

yelling as loud as I can Hi Jimmy!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Ouch! That one even hurt my ears… :P

@Leah - I'd love to see the 100,000 digits of pi. I read probably the first 100 a while back, but I'm NOT typing them all in! :)

See the link given by Isaac on this page–it gives the first MILLION digits of pi!! :O

Hi, all! :)

Whoops, missed that! :)

I know I probably sound really dumb, but what is pi, even???
I haven't gotten to that part of math right now, I'm learning fractions. (which I already know, they're just teaching me again)

Sorry. It's not for little kids to know.

Good greif.

Well, since Sammy over there won't tell you, I'll tell you what I know. :) Pi is a Greek letter that mathematicians use for approximately 3.14. Pi is used to figure out the area and circumference of circles. Probably some other stuff too, but that's about all I know. :)

Here's what I have memorized so far… 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971692884. I think I should get back to memorizing more someday.

Wow, that's a lot! How many digits is that? :P I only know 3.14 LOL XD

46 decimal digits if I'm not mistaken. 47 if you count the 3, although most people just count the decimal digits.

Wow! GJ!

Thanks. BTW, did you know that the second is defined as 9,192,631,770 orbits of the outermost electron of the cesium-133 atom? This definition was given in 1960. Before that the second was defined as a fractional part of the year… probably where the term "I'll be back in a second" came from.

Oh, cool! I didn't know that! :P
