2. Pi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

   t. e. The number π (/ paɪ /; spelled out as " pi ") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle 's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.

3. Circle packing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

   A compact binary circle packing with the most similarly sized circles possible. [7] It is also the densest possible packing of discs with this size ratio (ratio of 0.6375559772 with packing fraction (area density) of 0.910683). [8] There are also a range of problems which permit the sizes of the circles to be non-uniform.

4. Proof that 22/7 exceeds π - Wikipedia

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

   The purpose of the proof is not primarily to convince its readers that ⁠ 22 7 ⁠ (or ⁠3 1 7 ⁠) is indeed bigger than π; systematic methods of computing the value of π exist. If one knows that π is approximately 3.14159, then it trivially follows that π < ⁠ 22 7 ⁠, which is approximately 3.142857. But it takes much less work to ...

5. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

   In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser 's circle problem, has a solution by an inductive method. The greatest possible number of regions, , giving the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ...

6. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

   Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0,0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r2 to find the approximation of π. For example, if r is 5, then the cells considered are: (−5,5) (−4,5)

7. Turn (angle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(angle)

   400 g. The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle —the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians. As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) [1] or to one revolution (symbol ...

8. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

   In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size. With the restricted definition, each Farey sequence starts with the value 0, denoted ...

9. Magic circle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_circle_(mathematics)

   Magic circles were invented by the Song dynasty (960–1279) Chinese mathematician Yang Hui (c. 1238–1298). It is the arrangement of natural numbers on circles where the sum of the numbers on each circle and the sum of numbers on diameters are identical. One of his magic circles was constructed from the natural numbers from 1 to 33 arranged ...
