    Extractions: In 1996, NERSC Chief Technologist David H. Bailey , together with Canadian mathematicians Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe, found a new formula for pi. This formula permits one to calculate the n-th binary or hexadecimal digits of pi, without having to calculate any of the preceding n-1 digits. This formula was discovered by a computer, using Bailey's implementation of Ferguson's PSLQ algorithm. More recently (2001), Bailey and colleague Richard Crandall of Reed College have shown that the existence of this new formula has significant implications for the age-old question: Are the digits of pi random?

46. Darren Aronofsky Online: Pi
    Short review and trailers.

    Extractions: FILM: Pi (Released in 1998) STARRING : Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, Ben Shenkman RATING: R Chaos theory, for those unfamiliar with the term, is based upon the little things that can cause big disruptions in our world. Take the butterfly effect for example; a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere in China and the wind that it stirs up may someday change weather patterns in New York. (Hey, it just might happen!) Time travel is one of the biggest mind bogglers in the our world today. Just going back could change the whole outcome of human history. Yeah, it's a lot to think about, and this film builds upon theories similar to these...more than the rest of the world may want. Darren Aronofsky is now an instant legend in indie-filmmaking for this film. It is incredibly original, smart, somewhat disturbing, and may stick in your mind like crazy glue. I have never seen a film that has so challenged my perception of reality since David Lynch's Eraserhead. (Viewers have often compared the two films for their similarities in mood and style.) Although, I was kind of thrown off by Eraserhead's metaphores that only Lynch understood, Pi had me gripped until the end. Gullete plays Max Cohen, a mathematical genius on the brink of a new discovery, and also on the edge of insanity. Everything around us is comprised of patterns, and Max is trying to find one in the largest productions of ordered chaos: the stock market. With the aid of his giant computer system, Euclid, he tries to find a pattern in stocks that are traded every second. After uploading a disk with a Hebrew alphabet, Euclid prints out a two hundred and sixteen digit number that may in fact be the very name of God (According The Torah). Hounded by a stock firm who will do anything to retrieve the code from him and his uncontrolable migraines, Max finds himself in a mess that may or may not end his life.

    Extractions: Go to my home page , then click here for the alternative (Pi) page Definition of pi: What is pi (the symbol is the small Greek letter )? It is equal to C/d, or C/2r, where C is the circumference of any circle, and d is its diameter, and r is its radius. Euclid proved that this ratio (C/d) is always the same, no matter the size of the circle. What he did was inscribe similar regular polygons in any two circles. Then, he increased the number of sides of the inscribed regular polygons. He reasoned that as the number of sides increased, the perimeter of the inscribed polygon gets closer and closer to the circumference of the circle. He also showed that the perimeters of the similar polygons were proportional to the radii of the circles in which they were inscribed. And so, C is proportional to r, in other words C/r is a constant. By convention, pi=C/2r . And we can use that as our definition of pi. Definition of pi: pi=C/2r Since we know pi to many decimal places, the following version of the same equation becomes fairly useful: Circumference formula: C=2(pi)r Value of pi: Pi is about: Area of a circle: At the top of this article, I said that Euclid proved that C/2r is a constant. C/2r eventually became known as pi, and is our definition of pi. We need to figure out the area of a circle.

He understood completely, perfectly, wholly, one little infinitesmal part of the world. And then he found that, because he understood that, be started understanding everything around it. And then he discovered he could extrapolate perfectly from that perfectly understood present into the past or the future. In the end he was consumed by spontaneous human combustion. Preamble #2: End of Preambles Pi Maximillian Cohen is a driven young mathematician with terrible headaches, working in his computer-crowded NY apartment to find a pattern in the stock market. His basic theory: Everything has a pattern to be discovered. He discusses his obsession with his mentor, Saul Robeson, a retired teacher who had devoted his life to finding the pattern in Pi before having a stroke; now his life is devoted to his fish and playing Go with Max.

Well, in the late 15th century European mathematicians (benefiting from the greater intellectual freedom that came with the end of the Middle Ages) figured out how to express Pi exactly as an infinite product. This facilitated the computation of much better approximations. As time passed, mathematicians made the expressions for Pi as an infinite product or sum more concise, and computational methods improved as well. For example: determined that: John Wallis (1616-1703) showed that: While Euler (1707-1783) derived his famous formula: Today Pi is known to more than 10 billion decimal places.

Despite that name, the main result claimed by the bill is a method to square the circle , rather than to establish a certain value for , although the bill does contain text that appears to dictate various incorrect values of π, such as 3.2. The bill never became law, due to the intervention of a mathematics professor who happened to be present in the legislature. The impossibility of squaring the circle using only compass and straightedge , suspected since ancient times, was rigorously proved in 1882 by Ferdinand von Lindemann . Better approximations of π than those inferred from the bill have been known since ancient times. In 1897
