XTitan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This is too good not to share (wish I wrote it and how sad is that) Happy π(rates of Penzance) Day! I am the very model of a non-repeating decimal, I've information volumetric, tubular, and spherical, I know the ancient Greeks and I know others quite historical From Ptolomy to Fibonacc’, in order categorical I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and irrational, About Pythagorean theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' sense, With many cheerful facts about the half of a circumference. I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; You can do most anything with me and just a radius In short, from matters circular to Riemann zeta functional I am the very model of a non-repeating decimal, I have a mythic history, Arch’medes’ and some Indians’; I answer hard equations, I've a pretty taste for radians, I quote in elegiacs all my digits oh so numerous, In conics I can floor peculiarities voluminous; I can tell undoubted ovals both from ampersands and hippopedes, I know the spindle torus and the sis-Cissoid of Diocles! Then I can find the surface area of a saddle or a hull facet, And recite all the nums from my infernal series infinite. Then I can calculate the shape of any curve that’s cruxiform, And tell you ev'ry detail of Catenaries uniform: In short, from matters circular to Riemann zeta functional I am the very model of a non-repeating decimal. — Mark Siddall, American Museum of Natural History - There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data sets...

ERISAAPPLE Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Carl Sagan had it figured out. Pi is an encryption code from God. We just have to break the encryption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDROphile Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well, pi is irrational and transcendental; that fits the Old Testament portrayal of God in some circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
