    Extractions: The argument goes that since the bible is the product of a perfect God then it must gets its sums perfectly correct. This ignores that fact that God does not dictate the bible, but uses humans in their own historical and social context. In human day to day affairs we frequently use approximations. (1 Ki 7:23 NIV) He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. (1 Ki 7:26 NIV) It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths. Answer Three is a first approximation to PI. As far as we know PI is a number with no exact solution in other words it is likely to have a very large number of decimals. If we take the argument to its logical conclusion we can say that if the Bible came from an infinite God then he should express PI exactly (and the Bible would be full of numbers). In fact he used men to express his word and to the men of that day three is a good approximation. If the author were an artisan then no doubt he would say that PI is three and a bit. We also understand that the rim was a handbreadth in thickness or about 7.4 cm. The cubit is 44.45 cm.

    Extractions: One of the major contributions Archimedes made to mathematics was his method for approximating the value of pi. It had long been recognized that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was constant, and a number of approximations had been given up to that point in time by the Babylonians, Egyptians, and even the Chinese. There are some authors who claim that a biblical passage also implies an approximate value of 3 (and in fact there is an interesting story associated with that). At any rate, the method used by Archimedes differs from earlier approximations in a fundamental way. Earlier schemes for approximating pi simply gave an approximate value, usually based on comparing the area or perimeter of a certain polygon with that of a circle. Archimedes' method is new in that it is an iterative process, whereby one can get as accurate an approximation as desired by repeating the process, using the previous estimate of pi to obtain a new one. This is a new feature of Greek mathematics, although it has an ancient tradition among the Chinese in their methods for approximating square roots. Archimedes' method, as he did it originally, skips over a lot of computational steps, and is not fully explained, so authors of history of math books have often presented slight variations on his method to make it easier to follow. Here we will try to stick to the original as much as possible, following essentially Heath's translation

88. Indiana Bill Sets The Value Of Pi To 3
    Indiana bill sets the value of pi to 3. The bill House Bill No. 246, Indiana State Legislature, 1897, reportedly set the value of pi to an incorrect rational approximation.

    Extractions: Next: Fields Medal Up: Human Interest Previous: Human Interest The bill House Bill No. 246, Indiana State Legislature, 1897 , reportedly set the value of pi to an incorrect rational approximation. The following is the text of the bill: HOUSE BILL NO. 246 "A bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and offered as a contribution to education to be used only by the State of Indiana free of cost by paying any royalties whatever on the same, provided it is accepted and adopted by the official action of the legislature of 1897. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana: It has been found that a circular area is to the square on a line equal to the quadrant of the circumference, as the area of an equilateral rectangle is to the square on one side. The diameter employed as the linear unit according to the present rule in computing the circle's area is entirely wrong, as it represents the circles area one and one-fifths times the area of a square whose perimeter is equal to the circumference of the circle. This is because one-fifth of the diameter fils to be represented four times in the circle's circumference. For example: if we multiply the perimeter of a square by one-fourth of any line one-fifth greater than one side, we can, in like manner make the square's area to appear one fifth greater than the fact, as is done by taking the diameter for the linear unit instead of the quadrant of the circle's circumference.

Pi is always the same number, no matter which circle you use to compute it. For the sake of usefulness people often need to approximate pi. For many purposes you can use 3.14159, which is really pretty good, but if you want a better approximation you can use a computer to get it. Here's pi to many more digits: 3.14159265358979323846. The area of a circle is pi times the square of the length of the radius, or "pi r squared": A = pi*r^2 A very brief history of pi Pi is a very old number. We know that the Egyptians and the Babylonians knew about the existence of the constant ratio pi, although they didn't know its value nearly as well as we do today. They had figured out that it was a little bigger than 3; the Babylonians had an approximation of 3 1/8 (3.125), and the Egyptians had a somewhat worse approximation of 4*(8/9)^2 (about 3.160484), which is slightly less accurate and much harder to work with. For more, see A History of Pi by Petr Beckman (Dorset Press).

    Extractions: Please e-mail comments, corrections and additions to the webmaster at pje@efgh.com Mathematics contains many interesting transcendental constants, but only one of them was known to the ancients. It is pi, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. Archimedes was the first mathematician to compute an approximate value for pi. Previous values had been based on physical measurements of limited accuracy. We will use Archimedes' method to compute an approximate value of pi, using only mathematics known to Archimedes. However, we will be doing our computations on a computer, and we will get a much more accurate value than he did. The ancients didn't have a very good theory of limits; neither do most non-mathematicians. But some things are fairly obvious. A regular polygon with many sides is approximately a circle. Its perimeter is approximately the circumference of the circle, and its area is approximately the area of the circle. The more sides the polygon has, the more accurate the approximation. If the polygon has enough sides, any desired degree of accuracy can be obtained. To find an approximate value for pi, we will inscribe regular polygons in a circle of radius 1. The perimeters of the polygons can be computed in some cases, using nothing more advanced than the Pythagorean theorem, which was known to Archimedes. In particular, if we know the length of each side of the regular polygon with n sides, we can compute the length of each side of the regular polygon with 2n sides.
