Download or read book Searching for Pi written by Bianca March and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover pi through a child's eyes... A search for pi is a search for ultimate truth. Ten third grade students, who call themselves the Elementrees, are asked to search for pi on their first two days of class by their eccentric new teacher, Ms. Applewood. She asks them to each bring in an example of pi the next day. She does not mention that this task is impossible. As the students wholeheartedly search for pi, they discover its fundamental properties: that it is invisible, intangible, irrational, and infinite. The most shocking truths about pi, they discover much later. Searching for Pi teaches about pi in a fun, easy to understand way. It also gives learners a new way of studying math, through the narrative of a funny story. Ms. Applewood teaches her students about pi because she wants them to become master creators of their own lives, discover their own unique talents, and not be unconsciously led down false paths. She succeeds in accomplishing all this with the help of a math symbol known as pi and her trusty potato masher. Searching for Pi is a must-read for teachers, math enthusiasts, students who need a new way of learning math, and anyone who enjoys a great middle-grade fiction story. Searching for Pi has been professionally edited by a team of editors at FirstEditing.com

Download or read book Pi A Source Book written by Jonathan M. Borwein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our intention in this collection is to provide, largely through original writings, an ex tended account of pi from the dawn of mathematical time to the present. The story of pi reflects the most seminal, the most serious, and sometimes the most whimsical aspects of mathematics. A surprising amount of the most important mathematics and a signifi cant number of the most important mathematicians have contributed to its unfolding directly or otherwise. Pi is one of the few mathematical concepts whose mention evokes a response of recog nition and interest in those not concerned professionally with the subject. It has been a part of human culture and the educated imagination for more than twenty-five hundred years. The computation of pi is virtually the only topic from the most ancient stratum of mathematics that is still of serious interest to modern mathematical research. To pursue this topic as it developed throughout the millennia is to follow a thread through the history of mathematics that winds through geometry, analysis and special functions, numerical analysis, algebra, and number theory. It offers a subject that provides mathe maticians with examples of many current mathematical techniques as weIl as a palpable sense of their historical development. Why a Source Book? Few books serve wider potential audiences than does a source book. To our knowledge, there is at present no easy access to the bulk of the material we have collected.

Download or read book Pi and the AGM written by Jonathan M. Borwein and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1998-07-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Acclaim for Pi and the AGM: "Fortunately we have the Borwein's beautiful book . . . explores in the first five chapters the glorious world so dear to Ramanujan . . . would be a marvelous text book for a graduate course."--Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society "What am I to say about this quilt of a book? One is reminded of Debussy who, on being asked by his harmony teacher to explain what rules he was following as he improvised at the piano, replied, "Mon plaisir." The authors are cultured mathematicians. They have selected what has amused and intrigued them in the hope that it will do the same for us. Frankly, I cannot think of a more provocative and generous recipe for writing a book . . . (it) is cleanly, even beautifully written, and attractively printed and composed. The book is unique. I cannot think of any other book in print which contains more than a smidgen of the material these authors have included.--SIAM Review "If this subject begins to sound more interesting than it did in the last newspaper article on 130 million digits of Pi, I have partly succeeded. To succeed completely I will have gotten you interested enough to read the delightful and important book by the Borweins."--American Mathematical Monthly "The authors are to be commended for their careful presentation of much of the content of Ramanujan's famous paper, 'Modular Equations and Approximations to Pi'. This material has not heretofore appeared in book form. However, more importantly, Ramanujan provided no proofs for many of the claims that he made, and so the authors provided many of the missing details . . . The Borweins, indeed have helped us find the right roads."--Mathematics of Computation

Book excerpt: #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AN ADAM SAVAGE BOOK CLUB PICK The book-length answer to anyone who ever put their hand up in math class and asked, “When am I ever going to use this in the real world?” “Fun, informative, and relentlessly entertaining, Humble Pi is a charming and very readable guide to some of humanity's all-time greatest miscalculations—that also gives you permission to feel a little better about some of your own mistakes.” —Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything Our whole world is built on math, from the code running a website to the equations enabling the design of skyscrapers and bridges. Most of the time this math works quietly behind the scenes . . . until it doesn’t. All sorts of seemingly innocuous mathematical mistakes can have significant consequences. Math is easy to ignore until a misplaced decimal point upends the stock market, a unit conversion error causes a plane to crash, or someone divides by zero and stalls a battleship in the middle of the ocean. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near misses, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, Matt Parker uncovers the bizarre ways math trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

Here are 10 fun facts about π (pi): Ancient Approximations: The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians approximated pi around 4,000 years ago, with the Egyptians coming remarkably close to the actual value using fractions like 169≈3.16916≈3.16. Symbol Origins: The symbol π (pi) for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was first used by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. Infinite and Non-Repeating: Pi is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and its decimal representation goes on infinitely without repeating any sequence. Record Digits: As of 2022, the record for calculating the most digits of pi stands at over 62 trillion digits, computed by researcher Timothy Mullican using the y-cruncher software. Mnemonics: Many people use phrases or poems to remember the digits of pi. One popular example is "How I wish I could calculate pi" which corresponds to the digits 3.1415926535. Fascination in Culture: Pi has a deep cultural significance and is celebrated annually on March 14th (3/14) as Pi Day. It is also associated with the beauty and symmetry of circles and spheres. Legal Battle: In 1897, Indiana attempted to pass a bill defining the value of pi as 3.2. The bill never became law but highlighted the challenges of legislating mathematical constants. Pi Pie Number Search Puzzles: Pi enthusiasts create "Pi Pie Number Search Puzzles," where the digits of pi are scrambled, and solvers must find certain sequences or patterns hidden within. Famous Digits: The first six digits of pi (3.14159) are widely recognized and used in everyday calculations. This approximation is adequate for most practical purposes. Pi in Nature: Pi appears in various natural phenomena, such as the shapes of river bends, the growth patterns of plants, and even the distribution of prime numbers.
