  2. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    But a sequence of numbers greater than or equal to | | cannot converge to Since f 1 / 2 ( 1 4 π ) = cos ⁡ 1 2 π = 0 , {\displaystyle f_{1/2}({\tfrac {1}{4}}\pi )=\cos {\tfrac {1}{2}}\pi =0,} it follows from claim 3 that 1 16 π 2 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{16}}\pi ^{2}} is irrational and therefore that π {\displaystyle \pi } is irrational.

  3. Proof that 22/7 exceeds π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_22/7_exceeds_π

    Proofs of the mathematical result that the rational number ⁠ 22 / 7 ⁠ is greater than π (pi) date back to antiquity. One of these proofs, more recently developed but requiring only elementary techniques from calculus, has attracted attention in modern mathematics due to its mathematical elegance and its connections to the theory of Diophantine approximations.

  4. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics , and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π , to avoid relying on the definition of the length of ...

    The digits of pi extend into infinity, and pi is itself an irrational number, meaning it can’t be truly represented by an integer fraction (the one we often learn in school, 22/7, is not very ...

  6. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    In fact, all square roots of natural numbers, other than of perfect squares, are irrational. [2] Like all real numbers, irrational numbers can be expressed in positional notation, notably as a decimal number. In the case of irrational numbers, the decimal expansion does not terminate, nor end with a repeating sequence.

  7. Transcendental number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number

    Hence, the set of real numbers consists of non-overlapping sets of rational, algebraic irrational, and transcendental real numbers. [3] For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number, but it is not a transcendental number as it is a root of the polynomial equation x 2 − 2 = 0. The golden ratio (denoted or ) is another irrational ...

    Like your reasoning for eating that extra slice of pie after dinner, the number pi is irrational, approximately equal to 3.14159 (and so on, infinitely). Because the rounded number of pi is 3.14 ...

    Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes.” You check this in your head for small numbers: 18 is 13+5, and 42 is 23+19.
