Chudnovsky brothers in 1991. Pi can be dated back to the middle kingdom on a papyrus scroll written in about 1650 B.C. by a scribe named Ahmes. He finds the area of a circle using an irregular sort of pi. Around 200 B.C. a Greek mathematician named Archimedes found that Pi was between 3 10/70 and 3 10/71. Ptolemy was the next researcher. In 150 AD‚ he calculated pi to 3.1416. In 480‚ Zu Chongzhi calculated pi to seven decimal places. In 1665‚ Isaac Newton calculated it to 16 places. In the 17th century

The ancient Nubians used a similar methodology.[5] The ancient Greeks transformed trigonometry into an ordered science.[6] Classical Greek mathematicians (such as Euclid and Archimedes) studied the properties of chords and inscribed angles in circles‚ and proved theorems that are equivalent to modern trigonometric formulae‚ although they presented them geometrically rather than algebraically.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION: Bernoulli’s Principle is a physical phenomenon that was named after the Swiss scientist Daniel Bernoulli who lived during the eighteenth century. Bernoulli studied the relationship of the speed of a fluid and pressure. The Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) discovered the principle that bears his name while conducting experiments concerning an even more fundamental concept: the conservation of energy. This is a law of physics that holds that
