Pi is wrong
I found this very interesting. Note: I wasn't quite sure where to stick a mathematics topic, so I defaulted to science.

Re: Pi is wrong
π works a lot better in the area of a circle formula A = Tr2/2 is a bit clumsy. But I can see the point.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Nope, not buying it. Trig is going to be fucking tedious either way. It is just shit you have to bite the bullet and learn before you get to the decent stuff
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Re: Pi is wrong
Now I want pie.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain

And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way

Re: Pi is wrong
It is indeed! Where the radius of the unit circle is the hypoteneuse of the right-angled triangle with angle x to the horizontal axis, sin x and cos x are the other 2 sides...Dory wrote:Ah the Pythagorean identity... *shows how smart she is by recognizing it*JimC wrote:Azathoth wrote:Nope, not buying it.
