    Extractions: Pi Day Pi Links Since April 13, 2002 Pi Day March 14th...Celebrate the Circle, Pi and the imagination and creativity of our students! Purpose: Pi Day is a day to celebrate mathematics in your school. It gives us the perfect springboard to allow our students to have fun while investigating mathematics concepts, being creative and even a little silly. If you have any ideas email them to me. I will eventually be attaching some of the materials to each activity so you can click onto it for more ideas. Pi Day Activities! Name That Circle! (9th -11th Grade) Students are shown a graph of a circle and the student that can correctly give it's equation wins! You can run it as a team competition or one on one. Be certain to go over the general equation of a circle first. For grade 9 or students who have not studied this keep all circles in the first quadrant. Examples Pi Digit Distribution (Elementary - HS) The younger students can look at the first 50 or 100 digits of pi and make a bar graph of the frequency of each digit. (How many times does appear?) Students enjoy this rich data source for bar graphs. HS students find the mean of the first 100 digits (use scientific calculators/graphing calculators) Create circle graphs based on the digits -excellent use of protractors, fractions, decimals and angles if done by hand. Use spreadsheets to examine the distribution of the digits. Examples Rolling Along...

    http://science.howstuffworks.com/pi.htm
    
    Extractions: Inside This Article Introduction to How Pi Works Lots More Information See all Physics articles Pi is an extremely interesting number that is important to all sorts of mathematical calculations. Anytime you find yourself working with circles, arcs, pendulums (which swing through an arc), etc. you find pi popping up. We have run into pi when looking at gears spherical helium balloons and pendulum clocks . But you also find it in many unexpected places for reasons that seem to have nothing at all to do with circles. On one level pi is simple: It is the ratio of a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. This ratio, for any circle, is always the same - 3.14 or so. You can prove this to yourself with a circle, a piece of tape and a ruler. Look around your house and find something circular: a jar lid, a CD, a plate - whatever you can find that is circular, the bigger the better. Measure its diameter (the width across the center of circle) with the ruler. Now wrap a piece of tape around around the circle and cut or mark the tape so that it is exactly as long as the outer edge (the circumference) of the circle you are measuring. Measure the piece of tape. With a calculator divide the length of the tape by the diameter you measured for the circle. The answer you will get, if you have measured accurately, is always 3.14.

    Extractions: News Blog Subscribe to News Blog February 21, 2008 2:44 PM PST Posted by Martin LaMonica Post a comment EMC on Thursday said it will acquire Pi, a cloud computing start-up founded by former Microsoft executive Paul Maritz. Financial terms of the all-cash transaction were not disclosed. Maritz will join the storage company as president and general manager of a newly created Cloud Infrastructure and Services division. Privately held Pi , which has about 100 employees, is now beta-testing an online personal information management service (Pi stands for "personal information"). The software Pi is working on is designed to let people control, share, and publish information that is online or locally stored, according to the company's Web site. EMC said that Pi will fit into the company's "cloud infrastructure" strategy. Cloud computing is the idea of building and running applications that run on the Web and are delivered as a service. "We're saying that success in this new space will require a very different technology baseand a business modelvery unlike other parts of the traditional IT landscape," wrote Chuck Hollis, EMC's global marketing chief technology officer

73. EARTH MYSTERIES: Notes On Pi (¼ )
    An introduction to the number pi and its history.  
    http://witcombe.sbc.edu/earthmysteries/EMPi.html
    
    Extractions: Chris Witcombe Sweet Briar College witcombe@sbc.edu Notes on Pi ( Pi, which is denoted by the Greek letter , is the most famous ratio in mathematics, and is one of the most ancient numbers known to humanity. Pi is approximately 3.14 - the number of times that a circle's diameter will fit around the circle. Pi goes on forever, and can't be calculated to perfect precision: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751.... This is known as the decimal expansion of pi. No apparent pattern emerges in the succession of digits - a predestined yet unfathomable code. They do not repeat periodically, seemingly to pop up by blind chance, lacking any perceivable order, rule, reason, or design - "random" integers, ad infinitum. In 1991, the Chudnovsky brothers in New York, using their computer, m zero , calculated pi to two billion two hundred sixty million three hundred twenty one thousand three hundred sixty three digits (2,260,321,363). They halted the program that summer. Pi has had various names through the ages, and all of them are either words or abstract symbols, since pi is a number that can't be shown completely and exactly in any finite form of representation. Pi is a transcendental number. A transcendental number is a number but can't be expressed in any finite series of either arithmetical or algebraic operations. Pi slips away from all rational methods to locate it. It is indescribable and can't be found. Ferdinand Lindemann, a German mathematician, proved the transcendence of pi in 1882.

Until very recently there were just two methods used to compute pi, one invented by the Greek mathematician Archimedes , and the other by the Scottish mathematician James Gregory . We'll just look at Gregory's method here. The steepness of a hill can be measured in different ways.
