Thats right everyone, today is the 14th day of the 3rd month. And since I celebrated the occasion at 1:59 today with other like-minded nerds, it is an important day indeed. Definately cooler than Pi approximation day, (July 22).

for all you non-geeks, well....I have nothing to say to you.

Have you seen the movie Pi? Its bloody awesome! :)

I actually havn't seen it yet, but my friends and I were planning to watch it today in celebration (in our math lecture hall, of course, at night) . However, we've got a physics lab, integration test, and infinity more work to do for tommorow, so we had to delay it.
AUUGHHGHHH, i can't believe it! Its a waste!

So I had to start htis thread to make up for it.

3.14159265358979323846...

I've always been able to remember pi to 20 places... used to be able to remember it to 50!

Well it's more about Fi anyway. But definately worth watching!

I wonder if there's such thing as a perfect circle.

that's awesome! *bows to Spaam* The best I can do is up to 15 digits-I can never remember after that 897.

This is a perfect day to resume my search for secret messages to the CIA hidden in pi by aliens!
For example:
3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923 translates as:
CNOIZECEHIGICWHDFZDCCHCBGIE BHHDSGPICIICGEJEHTGIDIDDEIW

Now all we need is a lot of supercomputers to decode it.

I loved the movie Pi
What is Fi
Perfect Circle? Never.
And uuh.. yeah

that's awesome! *bows to Spaam* The best I can do is up to 15 digits-I can never remember after that 897.
I remember it like this:

3.141 59 26 5358 9793 23846

I loved the movie Pi
What is Fi
Perfect Circle? Never.
And uuh.. yeah
phi is another greek letter usually used to represent the phase shift between two sinusoidal functions, for example, between a damped, and undamped AC current. Its an angle, in radians, expressed as a fraction of a full period, which is 2pi.

um, why can't a perfect circle exist?

I remember it like this:

3.141 59 26 5358 9793 23846
I always remember it as 3.1 4159 26535 8979

I loved the movie Pi
What is Fi
Perfect Circle? Never.
And uuh.. yeah
The movie Pi referred constantly to Fi. Oh, of course, my bad. It's Phi in English, not Fi... 1,61803 etc.

Woo! 500 places :D

Because nothing is perfect?:) Well I guess in theory you could have a perfect circle (depending on your definitions of perfect). I guess it would be a one dimensional shape with its circumfrance being at all points equal distance from the centre making it perfectly round...

Yeah, that would be the idea. I'm sorry, but I don't get what the difficulty here is.

ow numbers...my head hurts :(

mine too. too many integrals...owww.

yeah, in my high school math class, there was this poster called 40 feet of pi, and it had quite a few digits. One day I was bored after a test so I started to memorize it. I can now remember out to 70 or so. I also went to this website and copied 5 million digits into a word doccument (2001 pages). But that was before I formated it to make it smaller.

I remember it 3.14 159 26535 8979 3238 46264338 3279 50288 41971 69399 3751 058 209 749 4459 230 78 1640 628 620899

ok doh, 80.

10,000 digits of pi (http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/projects/ISC/dataB/isc/C/pi10000.txt)

Doing all this with a appendage designed by evolution and natural selection for picking fruit and a crayon.

Get cracking.

Fear chi! X

Fear chi! X
Okay.
*screams* *runs*

and what would you eat on this special day :D .........

Why isnt there square root of 2 day?

(I know there is no January 41)

Anyway, happy Pi day.

yay! geeks! I love geeks! :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:



and the one billionth digit of Pi is 9!

What's half of pi?

Apple! :D

Sorry, that was dumb.


Anyways, happy Ides of March, too.

and what would you eat on this special day :D .........
Cookies and gum. I have mint...

Yay! Geek of the world unite on this auspicious day.

Happy Pi day, every one.

Cookies and gum. I have mint...

what about pie?

could someone please define the word 'geek'. at what point does one cease to be called intellectual and start to be called 'geek'?

what about pie?
On pi day? Are you crazy?

could someone please define the word 'geek'. at what point does one cease to be called intellectual and start to be called 'geek'?
I dunno but geekiness is hot!

http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/pi/yapPing.html go there, be mezmorized, I was on 10,000 before I snapped ot of it.

What is Pi day?

:confused:

http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/pi/yapPing.html go there, be mezmorized, I was on 10,000 before I snapped ot of it.
You got to 10000? I got bored after 167.

could someone please define the word 'geek'. at what point does one cease to be called intellectual and start to be called 'geek'?
I guess geeks are obsessive really. Wheras intellectuals aren't as intense. But yeah, I don't really get the distinction. And I don't get why geek is an insult generally.

NOOOOO I'm a day late!

Well, I knew about it, but I didn't post here! ^.^

Happy pi!

π ≈ 3.

*Wants to see a one-dimensional circle.*

Math sucks.

maths is great! the only subject I enjoyed at school

Definately cooler than Pi approximation day, (July 22).

Of course!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_simple_proof_that_22/7_exceeds_pi

Math is obtuse, frustrating, monotonous, a waste of time, too difficult, and boring.

No, Maybe for you, no, maybe for you, no.

There!

maths is easy!

Do my schoolwork for me, then! :D

maths is easy!

depends, approximations are hard... but maths feels good when it is finally finished!

i don't recall anyone celebrating e day.

you just like pi because its name is alot cooler, but i think e deserves some respect.

2.71828183

So February 7th at 1828 (military time translating to 6:28 PM).

you don't hear any stories of people remembering e to 100 places.

I have a shirt that has a giant pi symbol on it made up entirely of over one throusand digits of pi. I love that shirt.

Oohw, all those numbers just made me think about a cool new math theory including Pi and Belgian people. Unfortunately I'm not able to explain it in English yet :( Maybe tomorrow.

Means nothing to me :/

Heck, as an ex-geek, I would say that is flaming. :gundge:

Ex-geek!? leave my thread immediately! ;) For anyone that doesn't know, geek is the new black.

Happy belated Pi Day too all!
