  2. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler . It is a special case of Euler's formula e i x = cos ⁡ x + i sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} when evaluated for x = π {\displaystyle x=\pi } .

    where C is the circumference of a circle, d is the diameter, and r is the radius.More generally, = where L and w are, respectively, the perimeter and the width of any curve of constant width.

  4. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    Conclusion: Since () > and ⁡ > for < < (because is the smallest positive zero of the sine function), Claims 1 and 2 show that () + is a positive integer. Since 0 ≤ x ( a − b x ) ≤ π a {\displaystyle 0\leq x(a-bx)\leq \pi a} and 0 ≤ sin ⁡ x ≤ 1 {\displaystyle 0\leq \sin x\leq 1} for 0 ≤ x ≤ π , {\displaystyle 0\leq x\leq \pi ...

  5. A New Formula for Pi Is Here. And It’s Pushing Scientific ...

    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. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Between the square and the circle are four segments. If the total area of those gaps, G 4, is greater than E, split each arc in half. This makes the inscribed square into an inscribed octagon, and produces eight segments with a smaller total gap, G 8. Continue splitting until the total gap area, G n, is less than E.

    PiFast 4.4 is available from Stu's Pi page. PiFast 4.3 is available from Gourdon's page. QuickPi by Steve Pagliarulo for Windows is faster than PiFast for runs of under 400 million digits. Version 4.5 is available on Stu's Pi Page below. Like PiFast, QuickPi can also compute other irrational numbers like e, √ 2, and √ 3.

    In other words, the n th digit of this number is 1 only if n is one of the numbers 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, 4! = 24, etc. Liouville showed that this number belongs to a class of transcendental numbers that can be more closely approximated by rational numbers than can any irrational algebraic number, and this class of numbers is called the ...

    A PI greater than one indicates that the project’s PV exceeds its cost and therefore suggests a potential profit. A PI less than one, on the other hand, implies that the project’s PV is less ...
