Re: FIRST: The Pi Conspiracy
pi is a beautiful transcendental.
The FIRST logo elements triangle, circle, and square, are projections of three interesting solids -- a cone with the same diameter and height, a sphere of that diameter, and a cylinder of that diameter and height. Volumes of these three solids are in 1:2:3 proportion, as discovered by Archimedes. (see the attachment) A few years ago, I made a demo for the Cork Plug teaser: find one solid object that will completely plug holes of the shapes used in the FIRST logo. Volume of the (maximal) cork plug is more than that of the cone, and less than that of the sphere. Mysteriously, pi keeps popping up in these formulae .... ![]() |

Re: FIRST: The Pi Conspiracy
Here is a book I would love to recommend in this thread:
http://www.amazon.com/History-Pi-Pet.../dp/0312381859 He is a bit tough on religion, but that was only because religion was a bit tough on Math and Science at times. Overall a very fun book. |
