OK, many things:

1) It's pi, not pie (must be hungry?)

2) 22/7 isn't pi, its 3.142857142857...

3) Pi is irrational, and therefore has NO fraction equivalent, and

4) I am in Calculus, and therefore know how to compute pi to any decimal place using this formula:

Pi is equal to the square root [6 times (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + ... + (1/n)^2 )]

You do have to add about 4 billion terms to get 9 decimal accuracy, but it really does converge to pi.


Sorry. As a proud math geek, I must uphold order!

Circumference divided by diameter equals pi.

[EI_Tizzy]

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

True, but circumference and diameter can't BOTH be whole numbers, and therefore cannot create a rational fraction equivalent.

BIAAAAATCH

I know that. Well then, here are some more things for pi:

• pi/4=1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-...
• pi^2/6=1+1/2^2+1/3^2+1/4^2+...
• pi^2/12=1-1/2^2+1/3^2-1/4^2+...
• pi^2/8=1+1/3^2+1/5^2+1/7^2+1/9^2+...
• pi^2/24=1/2^2+1/4^2+1/6^2+1/8^2+...

pi^2/pi=pi ...i win

[Doug31]

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

There are infinitely many ways to calculate pi, so this is getting pretty messed about now, since I was just thinking that 2pi/2=pi, which is a lot like what Deeks said.

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

oh yea that works too.

[Doug31]

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

How about pi=ln(-1)/-i? That doesn't have a pi in it, so it's better.

Edit: Can't remember if that last negative should be there, so it might be the opposite of that.

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

How about pi=ln(-1)/-i? That doesn't have a pi in it, so it's better.

So... pi=ln(-1/-(-1)^1/2)=ln(-1/(-1*1)^1/2)=ln(-1/i)

... I have no clue where I was going with that...

EDIT: Oh wait... is the i in the ln too? Because there is no ln of -1.

[EI_Tizzy]

Re: i will make you an sm if you answer this question right!

Oooooo... so close, the i IS positive.

Here is my labored proof of this, which I will mention is the ONLY actual showing of PROOF their function is correct


Euler's Equation



Calculus Proof of Euler's Equation


Series Proof of Euler's Equation


In any case, using pi for x in the equation gives us a value of -1. Therefore, the equation given by Doug31 can be created (except i is positive!).

To answer Fox Tails' question, ln of a negative can potentially exist so long as it can be cancelled by some arithmetic reason, such as in Euler's Formula.

Can I win for most caring to prove himself right?
