    Extractions: Homemade Plastic Bag Model Hot Air Balloons are generally shaped like pillowcases. To calculate volumes, they can be compared with classic cylinders. Here a balloon is imagined as a stack of circles, or ovals, with a top. The volume is equal to the average area of the ovals, multiplied by an "Effective Height," which accounts for the material at the top of the balloon. The simplest way to calculate areas for circles and ovals is to compare them with squares. The perimeter is the most elegant geometric measurement. The quarter-perimeter though is usually more practical to use. NOTE: If the Perimeter of a circle, ie. its circumference, is divided by its diameter, the result is 3.1416..., or Pi. So, the Perimeter / 2 Pi equals the radius. Similarly, 2 * Quarter-Perimeter / Pi also equals the radius. Area of a Square = Quarter-Perimeter ^ 2 (ie. the square of one of the sides) Area of a Square = Perimeter ^2 / 16 Area of a Circle = Pi * Radius ^2 = Pi * ( 2 * Quarter-Perimeter / Pi ) ^2 = 1.273 * Quarter-Perimeter ^ 2

    Extractions: The evolution of information technology is likely to result in intimate interdependence between humans and technology. This fusion has been characterized in popular science fiction as chip implantation. It is, however, more likely to take the form of biometric identification using such technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning. Some applications of biometric identification technology are now cost-effective, reliable, and highly accurate. As a result, biometric systems are being developed in many countries for such purposes as social security entitlement, payments, immigration control and election management. Whether or not biometry delivers on its promise of high-quality identification, it will imperil individual autonomy. Widespread application of the technologies would conflict with contemporary values, and result in a class of outcasts. The accurate identification of individuals is a key concern for many government agencies and corporations. It is important to them because it contributes significantly to administrative efficiency and the control of fraud, and can offer benefits to clients as well. A key focus of information systems security in recent years has been the intensification of efforts to establish accurate identity.

    Extractions: The Topic: Pi Easier - Pi sounds like pie and is equal to about 3.1416. In math, this is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In other words, pi is a number that equals the quotient of the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. Many people celebrate pi by holding a Pi Day on March 14th or 3/14. Harder - The Greek letter pi represents the number by which the diameter of a circle must be multiplied to obtain the circumference. Pi is an irrational number. That is, it cannot be written as a simple fraction or as an exact decimal with a finite number of decimal places. However, you can increase the number of digits until you reach a number as near to pi as needed. Mathematicians with computers have calculated pi to millions of decimal places. Pi is used in several mathematical calculations. The circumference of a circle can be found by multiplying the diameter by pi (c = pi X d). The area of a circle is yielded by multiplying pi by the radius squared (A = pi X r-squared). Pi is also used to calculate the area of a circle, and the volume of sphere or a cone.

    http://www.flowresearch.com/circular.html
    
    Extractions: In a recent article,1 I argued that a new geometry of flow is needed. In this article, I expand on this argument. I begin by describing the flawed foundations of Euclidean and Cartesian geometry. I then present the axioms of a new Circular Geometry. Finally, I discuss the implications of this geometry for flow measurement.2 Traditional geometry rests on two main pillars: the Euclidean axioms that create the conceptual underpinning of geometry, and the Cartesian coordinate system that provides an x and y axis (and z axis, in 3-dimensional geometry) in terms of which points can be located. Unfortunately, both systems have fatal flaws. One flaw in Euclidean geometry consists in the Euclidean conception of the point, and the relation between points and lines. In Euclidean geometry, a line is made up of infinitely many points, each of which has zero area. No matter how many times zeros are added together, however, a positive value never results. And adding infinity into the equation doesn't change anything, since zero times infinity is still zero. While many attempts have been made to explain away this anomaly, it still remains unexplained and unexplainable. There is also a flaw in the Cartesian coordinate system. While the straight-line framework of the Cartesian coordinate system works well for analyzing the areas of squares and rectangles, it is less successful as a frame of reference for curved and circular areas. Finding the area of a circle requires the use of pi, which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Since the formula for circular area, pi * (r * r), involves the area of a square, (r * r), this formula actually involves calculating how many squares will fit into a circle. Since a square peg does not fit into a round hole, it should not be surprising that no definite number of squares will fit inside a circle. In fact, the number is pi, a nonrepeating, irrational number that mathematicians to this day cannot fully define.

    Extractions: Procedure Ideas: Break into groups, giving each group something circular to measure, both the diameter and the circumference. Then divide the circumference by the diameter to get a number. When all groups are finished, have each group read off the answer to the division problem. Use this as a lead-in to your further discussion of circle properties. Ideas of circular items to measure: basketballs, softballs, globes, hoola-hoops. A whole-class activity could be: have one student stand in the middle of the gymnasium, holding one end of a known length of string. Then walk the other end of the string around to form a circle, placing students evenly on the imaginary circumference. When finished, you should have your students representing a fairly good circle, with one in the middle. Use the tape measure to find the diameter, using the center student for accuracy in measuring through the circle's center. Then measure the circumference as well. Calculate for Pi.

Such structures are also called formally integrable and the main local question is to what extent these equations are really integrable. Hans Lewy's famous example from 1957 shows that this is a non-trivial question. I shall present the definitions and illustrate with examples. One of the most well-understood examples of an involutive structure is a complex structure. That the two notions coincide is the content of Newlander-Nirenberg theorem. Locally, that is the end of the story. Globally, however, life is much more interesting. The theory of compact complex manifolds is rich and exciting. Similar comments apply to the theory of foliations. I shall discuss the global aspects of some other examples.
