Math! Science! History! - Episode 3 - Archimedes and his Pi

Episode 3 - Archimedes and his Pi

Math! Science! History!

play

10/01/19 • 11 min

Pi is a wonderful, magical number. Pi is a mathematical constant that has over a trillion digits. But, in 250 BCE, it was only accurate to two digits. Around 250 BCE Archimedes wrote his treatise Dimension of the Circle, which is a brief body of work that describes the measurements of a circle, including his approximation of the value of pi. After that, the number went on and on and on..... If you are interested in visuals and reading more about the evolution of the digits of pi, please visit my Web site at https://www.mathsciencehistory.com Until next time, carpe diem!
