Pi

[drakkie]

Isn't e = 2.7.... etc etc...?

jep.i checked its 2.718281828.Then that phi is a new one for me

[VtecMini]

Phi is the golden ratio. Google it.

[blingbling]

^ WTF?

I thought Euler's number was golden!

[The_Canuck]

CLick me!!!! lol funny PI thing

[baddabang]

CLick me!!!! lol funny PI thing

lmao does it ever end?

[mmm_aapls]

^ WTF?

I thought Euler's number was golden!

Eulers number is "e", and is the natural logarith.

Eulers constant (or Euler-Mascheroni constnat) is y = 0.57721
This number is importnat becasue it defines the limitng factor between harmonic series and natural algorithms. Which you can imagine is very usefull and very important.

Phi is know as the devine proportion and can be derived from a Fibonacci series. Just like Pi is the ratio of diameter to raduis of a circle, phi is the ratio of a line segment devided ina very special way. Here is a pic that explains it:


Phi is derived if:
(a+b)/a = 1.618
a/b = 1.618

So whyu is it so special. Becasue it appears in everything. Here is an example:
The Golden Section, also known as Phi, is manifested in the structure of the human body. If the length of the hand has the value of 1, for instance, then the combined length of hand + forearm has the approximate value of Phi. Similarly the proportion of upper arm to hand + forearm is in the same ratio of 1: Phi .



Even our heart beat shows it:


Not how similar this is to the Fibonacci series.



Well that is my nerding for th morning.

[Quiggs]

It had to be done.

[Vaigra]

And it had to be you.

[The_Canuck]

lmao does it ever end?

Yep, its not really that long...

[mmm_aapls]

mmm warm apple pi

The record for reciting pi is 83,431 digits by a 59-year-old Japanese psychiatric counselor. it took 13 hours.

This is just awesome
