hmm...i know there is a book out their in which the whole purpose of it is to show the first tens of million digits of Pi...

anyways, i remember the 3.1416 (when Pi is rounded to that place )

I've often wondered, are there any other numbers besides Pi that share the same type of none-patterned none-terminating number sequence? Another thing, without knowing Pi, how did the first person calculate the circumference of a circle? Yet another question, if one day they find that Pi does have a final digit, how will that help humanity? Oh well, I guess nerds just need a way to pass the time.

Yeah, I've heard about things like this...We have pi to the 10 000 digit in one of the class rooms in my school. It's kind of rad looking at that stuff.

other numbers like Pi? e (the natural log)

How they found the circumference of a circle? they probably just used a ruler and measured around...

if Pi has a final digition, how that will help humanity? the same question was asked of why research was going to making things smaller in the space program--the most visible end result of that is this thing called a computer

It doesn't help humanity...But universities have too much money from overcharging students...So they have to give out grants to useless projects. Kapeesh?

I can remember Pi to 3.1415

And it's really dumb to have so many numbers to calculate a circumference/area of a circle It's not needed.

Actually, despite all the advanced math classes I've taken, I haven't really had a use for so many digits of pi...or any digits of pi. We always had to express all answers in terms of pi.

Jesus think of writing that for hand...

The easiest way to write PI is π.

3.141592654. Rolls off the tounge.
BTW it's easy to measure a circle. Put a string around it, cut off the excess (so the string forms a perfect circle) and measure the string.

Yeah. It's that simple. However, every since computers were put into the Pi madness, other methods were developed.

...Try measuring the Earth, or any other number of things that alot of string would be required

Or perhaps extremely minute things, like bacteria.

And how many decimal digits is that accurate to? It's fine if you just want to measure the circumference, but not for finding the 47125890478347082150th digit of pi.
