[edit] Mathematics [edit] Pi as irrational Aryabhata worked on the approximation for Pi (π)‚ and may have come to the conclusion that π is irrational. In the second part of the Aryabhatiyam (gaṇitapāda 10)‚ he writes: caturadhikam śatamaṣṭaguṇam dvāṣaṣṭistathā sahasrāṇām ayutadvayaviṣkambhasyāsanno vṛttapariṇāhaḥ. "Add four to 100‚ multiply by eight‚ and then add 62‚000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20‚000 can be approached."[12] This implies that the

number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter‚ and is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century‚ though it is also sometimes written as "pi. π is an irrational number‚ which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of any two integers (fractions such as 22/7 are commonly used to approximate π; no fraction can be its exact value); consequently‚ its decimal representation never

Aryabhata Biography Name While there is a tendency to misspell his name as "Aryabhatta" by analogy with other names having the "bhatta" suffix‚ his name is properly spelled Aryabhata: every astronomical text spells his name thus‚ including Brahmagupta’s references to him "in more than a hundred places by name".Furthermore‚ in most instances "Aryabhatta" does not fit the metre either. Time and place of birth Aryabhata mentions in the Aryabhatiya that it was composed 3‚630 years into the Kali

Punic Wars happening at that time. Archimedes had to protect his city from the Romans‚ and Carthage. These studies came into play often. At his time‚ he invented a lot of objects. He created a perfect sphere and almost found the approximate value of pi (π) which is in the Greek alphabet. He made a death heat ray‚ which used sunlight to burn ships‚ and used a grabber crane that picked up ships‚ and made it sink. These are good for wars. He also invented the formula for an area of a circle (). He also

that they appear in measurements of geometric objects--for example‚ the number pi (II). However‚ irrational numbers cannot be represented as decimals‚ unlike rational numbers‚ which can be expressed either as finite decimals or as infinite decimals that eventually follow a repeating pattern. By contrast‚ irrational numbers have infinitely long decimal expansions that never form a repeating pattern. Thus‚ the number pi can never be written down exactly in decimal form‚ it can only be approximated

numbers in two ways‚ i.e. 1729 = 93 + 103 = 13 + 123 since then the number 1729 is called Ramanujan’s number. In the third century B.C‚ Archimedes noted that the ratio of circumference of a circle to its diameter is constant. The ratio is now called ‘pi ( Π )’ (the 16th letter in the Greek alphabet series) The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 1053 with specific names as early as 5000 B.C. during the Vedic period.

William Raspberry makes an agreeable claim that black people are limited by stereotypes‚ and a narrow definition of what it means to be black in his article‚ “The Handicap of Definition”. I agree with Raspberry’s claim because currently there is a perpetuated idea that the majority of black people‚ in particular black males‚ are nothing more than the stereotype of a aggressive thug. In current events‚ I have witnessed this stereotype is often believed to be true to some members of law enforcement
