…in spacetime with high curvature?
Doesn’t curvature cause pi to not be a constant? And wouldn’t it be negative curvature that would cause it to be higher than euclidean space?
They’re just rounding up from “3.”
And not that pussy rounding up where you go up by only 1, oh no, we’re rounding up 2 baby.
The value of Euler’s number is now 4.
Having Pi equal five definitely does not help the world go round.
Wouldn’t it make it seem like a bigger place?
Maybe on paper if you want to look at it from that angle.
Tangentially, I like the pun, but now you’re just being obtuse.
New New math
That’s how you know math is OP when you can calculate volumes in parallel worlds where circles don’t even looks like circles
Ah, Manhattan. Where pi = 4, and circles are diamonds.
Bringing new meaning to the phrase “assume cows are spherical”
“Assume a spherical cow, which for our purposes can be approximated as a cuboid.”
Idk, if you want to test people on how they understand formulae and order of operations without letting them just punch it into a calculator. The actual math isn’t hard, but if you don’t get substituting values into an equation then it’s not trivial
Just let π be 3 …
Or have them learn how to use a calculator at the same time.
Your life is easier and better if you can do this kind of simple math in your head.
Oh don’t you try to sell me on the “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket” thing. I have fucking Excel in my pocket.
It’s not just about haveing a calculator, it’s also that it’s faster and more convenient if you can do simple sums like this in your head. It also means you can sanity check the numbers your calculator gives you to make sure you didn’t make a mistake entering the sum.
To your point below about products having their unit cost displayed, more than once I’ve seen that just be wrong, so I wouldn’t rely on it. Make sure you can check it in your head.
Who really wants to use Excel to figure out if the 24-pack of Coca-Cola or the 3 12 packs is a better deal?
I don’t need to, there’s a legal requirement to print prices per liter or kg on every price tag here.
But if you want to buy only half a kg, you don’t know how much it costs (if you dont know basic maths)- because it only lists the price for a full kg. Do you start pulling out your Excel for that?
Does this requirement exist for toilet paper? Because I don’t know what the hell is considered a better deal based on all the marketing.
I would be a smartass and leave Pi as a factor throughout and in the answer. I’m used to doing that in Calculus anyways.
V = πr2h
V = π⋅102⋅10
V = π⋅100⋅10
V = π1000
BONUS SOLUTION:
V =∫010 A⋅h dh
A = ∫010 2πr dr
V= ∫010 ∫010 h⋅2πr dr dh
h is a constant for A’s integral so we can safely move it into V’s integral
V= ∫010 h⋅∫010 2πr dr dh
π is a constant so we can safely remove it from A’s integral
A = π⋅∫010 2r dr
A = π⋅[r2]010
A = π⋅( [102] - [02] )
A = π102
A = π100
V = ∫010 h⋅π100 dh
π100 is a constant so we can safely remove it from V’s integral
V = π100⋅∫010 h dh
V = π100⋅[h]010
V = π100⋅([10] - [0])
V = π100⋅10
V = π1000
It goes a lot deeper but I’m not bored enough for that, yet.
EDIT: Hang on. I’m wrong with that height integral. Can somebody help remind me?
If you really wanted to be through you’d start at a point, integrate out along dr for a line, then integrate in a circle through dtheta to derive the area before doing the rest
Damn inflation is everywhere now, even the transcendentals :'(
That just means the curvature of spacetime is negative.
When you want students to not use calculators but still rate a question for 10 second answer.
Numbers are symbolic, I’d say it’s not a bad piece of homework to supplement a lesson that numbers are to be respected but ALSO to always know that they mean nothing without context.
We can appreciate the beauty of infinity in memorizing pi, but the reality we live in demands actions of whatever the fuck it is we redefine volition, will, or passion to.
I think people can be so much more, but my idea of more is tainted by the values I have. Not everyone would agree with the idea that we all deserve to live.
Survival of the fittest, they support indirectly. With actions that include the advent of modern advertising. The CIA(?) experiment on attention, catalyzed by the creation of lsd in the knowledge-obtaining-goal of understanding the mechanics of attention, were directly related to the patriot act.
I’m not claiming anything other than the fact that our “leaders,” have used their knowledge of attention spans to sway the, “masses.” The rest of us.
How do you think of the, “rest of us?”
I hope you teach your children that, and that math is the beauty we’ve come to understand in our millennia of evolutionary timescales, of fucking struggle.
You have within you, much.
Do not waste the years of before, do something to help. Not your country, but your reality. The outside. You’re something. Not “nothing but a part of.” There’s so much in the word, “just.”
That’s all I have to say. Just that. Not much. Just a tiny little wall. Sorry. I write, and I rant, and I let go. Please don’t ban me. I matter and I’m not hateful. I’m sorry.
I truly wonder what sprouted this comment. We’re all taking about how this one teacher butchered math by rounding π completely incorrect and you’re posting this half-rambling, idk if medicaments-induced, pseudo intellectual crap. This has 0 to do with it, go to some DMT board.
Reading that comment was a wild ride! It started off innocuous enough, but really went off the rails FAST!
“One! Two! FIVE!” “Three, Sire!” “THREE!”
Ah, Indiana math.
