I think the mathematical usage of that is spelled 'pi.'
Pie...that just makes me hungry.

Pi is most definately not three Hans.

Melktert (Anduril should know what that is), chocolate, and lemon.

So, yes, if you round it, pi=3. My favorite kinds of pi? I don't really care, just so long as the damn thing ain't on my homework!

Yummm... pie. Definitely pecan, lemon, and chocolate.
I also like American Pie.

Um, Laurelyn, you missed the 4. After "..84626" there should be a 4. You went straight into the "..338327".
I only know it to the 45th place, although some kind soul in my math class last year printed it out to the 1 millionth for me.

*shrugs* I just use 3.14, too lazy to bother with anything longer than that! Althougth there is a pi button on my calculator...

To prove the rationality of pi by induction, assume that an N-digit approximation of pi is rational. This number can be expressed as the fraction M/(10^N). Multiplying approximation to pi, with N digits to the right of the decimal place, by (10^N) yields the integer M. Adding the next significant digit to pi can be said to involve multiplying both numerator and denominator by 10 and adding a number between between -5 and +5 (approximation) to the numerator. Since both (10^(N+1)) and (M*10+A) for A between -5 and 5 are integers, the (N+1)-digit approximation of pi is also rational. Also see that adding one digit to the decimal representation of a rational number, without loss of generality, does not make an irrational number.
Therefore, by induction on the number of decimal places, pi is rational.

As every true distance in the physical universe is a finite number with a finite number of digits, and as the circumference and the diameter of a circle are, supposed to be, in reallity, distances in the physical universe, then if pi=c/d, as the product of any finite number multiplied by any other finite number can't equal infintity, and as true infinities are impossible in the physical universe, pi's digits cannot go on forever.
in a perfect circle, there would be an infinite precision, as there would have to be an infinite amount of points. So, you could get an irrational number. However, there is no such thing as a perfect circle in the physical universe

But pi isnt rational, even i know that. It is irratonal, as is its root, and its square.
How was pi found, i mean did someone find the circumference of lots of circles, and their radii and try to make the connection? The universe is not finite, in theory nothing is finite. If perfection and pi/rationality were proportional, than the world would be a very messed up place, infinetly twisted, which puts me in mind of helixes...........................

Actually quantum mechanics has postulated that there ARE finately small and large numbers rather than infinites, so Hans is on the ball there Sen.

Is there anything quantum mechanics doesn't explain.
Blueberry pie.
