In The Song Dynasty, China, Zhu Chong-Zhi has successfully found the value of pi in a very precise way. Nowadays, man tend to use their super-computer or mainframe to calculate this value. Although its preciseness is far greater then the old days', it is not practical to use such a value. Forget about the practical usage of this value. Let's see those digits in another view point, "the beauty of digits" . If you still not satisfied with the value below, please download value of pi with 10 million digits here .

Extractions: Prime Numbers ... Links Historians estimate that by 2000 B.C. humans had noticed that the ratio of circumference to diameter was the same for all circles. This discovery hinged on the idea of proportion - in this case humans noticed that if you double the distance "across" a circle, then you double the distance "around" it. In today's algebraic notation this implied the formula where Pi was constant. (It wasn't until 1706 that this notation, using the Greek letter seen in the above equation - often written Pi and pronounced like the English 'pie' - was introduced by William Jones). The significance of this discovery is clear: Circles are everywhere - in the sun, the moon, the pupils of our eyes, the most basic religious rituals and the earliest man-made structures. Achieving a greater mathematical understanding of Pi would lead to scientific and technological advances that would further the development of civilization, as well as creating some very interesting problems in pure mathematics.

The Molten Sea And The Value Of Pi
The Molten Sea and the value of pi. Is in Scripture? Can Pi be accuratelyfound in the Biblical texts describing the dimensions
http://members.aol.com/emuro/gematria/pi.html

Extractions: The Molten Sea and the Value of Pi Is "in" Scripture? Can Pi be accurately found in the Biblical texts describing the dimensions of the Molten Sea using: Numerics, Gematria, or Equidistant Letter Sequencing (ELS)? To what degree of accuracy? To how many decimal places? This site deals with my attempts to read the value of p into the Scripture texts that describe the Molten Sea. It's purpose is to show how easily this can be done; which implies that the fantastic claims made by some for: ELS, Gematria and Numerics are ungrounded. The ease by which the value of p can be "found" indicates the fact that these methods do not reveal hidden "codes" or other secrets. It is simply a matter of reading something into the Biblical text, not out of it. In confining my examples to that of locating a more accurate value for p in the verses that describe the Molten Sea, I draw attention to the fact that it is quite easy to "find" whatever you are looking for. Also, these examples do not add to or subtract from the Biblical message. They merely "give" a more accurate value for p . Since p is an irrational number, all values that represent it are approximations; some being more accurate than others. Among other things, I wanted to use an example that does not violate or tamper with the Word of God.
Solomon's Sea And The Value Of Pi
The value of pi Joseph Francis Alward September 4, 1999.
http://members.aol.com/JAlw/value_of_pi.html

Extractions: September 4, 1999 E-Mail Alward Home Page The circumference of a circle is obtained by multiplying pi times the diameter. Bible skeptics allege that the writer of 1 Kings couldn't possibly have been inspired because he evidently believed that the value of pi was 3, not the more nearly correct value of 3.14. As evidence, the skeptics point to 1 Kings 7:23 in which the writer says that circumference of Solomon's man-made circular pond was 30 cubits and its diameter was 10 cubits: "He [Solomon] made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it." However, if the circumference of the pond really was 30 cubits, the diameter would have to be 9.549 cubits, approximately. Rounded to the nearest integer, the diameter is 10 cubits, which is close enough, even for a god who could have given the value of pi to at least 5.1 billion digits [2]assuming this god was only interested in conveying information about Solomon's bath.

Extractions: - Michael Stifel (1544) There is an even better (albeit much longer) quote about pi that I found from the same source. This page is dedicated to Ludolph Van Ceulen Are you wondering why there's no Dilbert cartoon here? For offline fun, read The Joy of Pi by David Blatner or go see Pi: The Movie Now you can even SMELL the part of pi by wearing Pi: The Perfume Pi. It's a number with some character, transcendental, irrational, difficult to pin down. The history of pi is fascinating, and I would find a web page detailing the events and intrigue surrounding pi a worthy effort. (Wow! Eve Andersson, pi watchdog extraordinaire, has informed me that such a page actually exists! Pi through the ages is the happenin' pi locale.)

Indiana Bill Sets The Value Of Pi To 3
Indiana bill sets the value of pi to 3. 246, Indiana State Legislature, 1897,reportedly set the value of pi to an incorrect rational approximation.
http://db.uwaterloo.ca/~alopez-o/math-faq/mathtext/node18.html

Extractions: Next: Fields Medal Up: Human Interest Previous: Human Interest The bill House Bill No. 246, Indiana State Legislature, 1897 , reportedly set the value of pi to an incorrect rational approximation. The following is the text of the bill: HOUSE BILL NO. 246 "A bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and offered as a contribution to education to be used only by the State of Indiana free of cost by paying any royalties whatever on the same, provided it is accepted and adopted by the official action of the legislature of 1897. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana: It has been found that a circular area is to the square on a line equal to the quadrant of the circumference, as the area of an equilateral rectangle is to the square on one side. The diameter employed as the linear unit according to the present rule in computing the circle's area is entirely wrong, as it represents the circles area one and one-fifths times the area of a square whose perimeter is equal to the circumference of the circle. This is because one-fifth of the diameter fils to be represented four times in the circle's circumference. For example: if we multiply the perimeter of a square by one-fourth of any line one-fifth greater than one side, we can, in like manner make the square's area to appear one fifth greater than the fact, as is done by taking the diameter for the linear unit instead of the quadrant of the circle's circumference.
The Value Of Pi
Supplementary Topic. The Value of p it is not needed to understand any ofthe relevant topics that are discussed. The value of p = 3.14159265
http://dosxx.colorado.edu/~atlas/math/supplement/pi.html

Extractions: This section of the supplementary topic is purely for your own joy and interest ... it is not needed to understand any of the relevant topics that are discussed. The value of p = 3.14159265 ... which appears in defining the area of a circle and in measuring angles in units of radians is really no mystery. This value can best be thought of as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diatmeter . One can simply try to "draw" a perfect circle and measure the circumference and the diameter, and dividing the circumference by the diameter will give the value of p . It turns out that no matter how small or how big of a circle on chooses to draw, this ratio comes out to be a constant value that is roughly equal to 3.14159265 ... (within errors of measurement and drawing "perfect" figures and so on ...). The above geometrical idea is the best way at this level to understand where the value of p comes from ... if you are inclined to think practically you can always imagine doing an experiment like the above and getting values for p and then trying to "perfect" your experiment.
