Freakishly close
- SirWart 18y agoThat's a lot more difficult than rounding pi to 3.2 though.
- kqr2 18y agoIn grade school, they taught us to use 22/7 for pi. Unfortunately, that led some people to believe that PI == 22/7. It's even more fun when state legislators try to define pi. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/805/did-a-state-legislature-once-pass-a-law-saying-pi-equals-3 http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/805/did-a-state-leg...
- tlrobinson 18y agoHmm, pi is closer to 3.1 than 3.2, so why not 3.1?
- byteCoder 18y agoFreakishly close? pi - 3.141592653 is freakishly closer. Scared yet?
- ph0rque 18y agoThat should be 3.141592654, rounded to your number of digits.
- PieSquared 18y agoYou can use continued fractions to get as close as you want to pi with a fraction (and it gets closer much faster than the decimal approximation, too!) Continued fractions are worth taking a look at if you've never seen them, they're pretty cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fractions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fractions
