Pi (π=3.14159) is always an interesting mathematical constant. We all know what is PI? But have you ever thought about the etymology of Pi?

The below picture reveals the secret.

PI is an interesting Mathematical constant (PI=3.14159).

PI constant is something special.

• PI is an irrational number. That is, its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers.
• Its decimal representation never ends or repeats.
• It is also a transcendental number, which means that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) can be equal to its value.

We all know the value of PI is approximately 3.14159. This is the approximate value of 5 decimal places.

Do you know the value of PI with 2000 decimal places?

David Webb had created a python script which will create this value.

Go back to your school days…; Mathematics class…; Geometry lessons…

Pi or π is a mathematical constant whose value is 3.14159. This is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter.

We all know about the above facts and can give many pages of explanations for the value 3.1.4159.

But the picture given above is sufficient to replace all such explanations.

What is Anagram?

An anagram (Greek anagramma ‘letters written anew’, passive participle of ana- ‘again’ + gramma ‘letter’) is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once;

e.g., A decimal point = I’m a dot in place.

Here are some popular anagrams

False Proof is one of the concepts in Mathematics. This is a quite interesting area. One of my Mathematics professor started his first class with the following question.

Can you prove 1 = -1?

We all said nope.

Then he went to the blackboard and wrote the following proof.

Version 1:

Amazing. Isn’t? This is called False Proof.

There is one more way to prove 1 = -1.

Version 2 :

Now let us see, how is this possible?

Let us take the first proof (False Proof)

The rule  is generally valid only if at least one of the two numbers x or y is positive, which is not the case here. Alternatively, one can view the square root as a 2-valued function over the complex numbers; in this case both sides of the above equation evaluate to {1, -1}.

How about the second version? Is that true? The answer is false again. Below is the explanation.

The equation a ^bc = (a ^b )^c, when b and/or c are fractions, is generally valid only when a is positive, which is not the case here, leading to an invalid proof.
