22. A Brief History Of Pi bryson of heraclea realised that the area of a circle must lie between the areasof polygons inscribed in the circle and polygons circumscribed outside the http://people.bath.ac.uk/mss20/history.htm

History of Pi "Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." This Bible quote, taken from the Old Testament, 1 Kings 7:23, was probably written around the sixth century BC, however it still makes an indirect reference to the value of pi - By definition: p = Circumference / Diameter "Ten cubits from brim to brim" - Diameter = 10 cubits "Thirty cubits did compass it round about" - Circumference = 30 cubits Therefore, according to this passage, the value of pi is 3 - something which we now know to be a very simple approximation. The following table shows some of the major breakthroughs in worldwide quest for the digits of pi, and a few of the various methods that people have used throughout the ages. Year (approximate) Contribution to value of p 1650 BC Ahmes, an Egyptian scribe, used the following method to approximate p The square formed of length 8 / 9 diameter of a circle has the same diameter as the circle itself. This gave a value of , which has an error of less than one percent.

23. GEOMETRY - LoveToKnow Article On GEOMETRY bryson of heraclea took an important step when he circumscribed, in addition toinscribing, polygons to a circle, but he committed an error in treating the http://18.1911encyclopedia.org/G/GE/GEOMETRY.htm

GEOMETRY GEOMETRY It is convenient to discuss the subject-matter of geometry under the following headings: I. Euclidean Geometry: a discussion of the axioms of existent space and of the geometrical entities, followed by a synoptical account of Euclids Elements. II, Projective Geometry: primarily Euclidean, but differing from I. in employing the notion of geometrical continuity (q.v.) points and lines at infinity. III. Descriptive Geometry: the methods for representing upon planes figures placed in space of three dimensions. V. Line Geometry: an analytical treatment of the line regarded as the space element. VT. Non-Euclidean Geometry: a discussion of geometries other than that of the space of experience. VII. Axioms of Geometry: a critical analysis of the foundations of geometry. ~A fresh stimulus was given by, the succeeding Platonists, who, accepting in part the Pythagorean. cosmology, made the study of geometry preliminary to that of philosophy. The many discoveries made by this school were facilitated in no small measure by the clarification of the axioms and definitions, thc logical sequence of propositions which was adopted, and, mor especially, by the formulation of the analytic method, i,e. ol assuming the truth of a proposition and then reasoning to 1 i For Egyptian geometry see EGYPT.

Home About Us Interactive Information History ... Religous Connections The Discovery of Pi by Adam Bremer Ahmes Archimedes Leonhard Euler The use of the Pi symbol did not become popular until its adoption by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1737. Which is surprising because this symbol was used years before Euler adopted it. Several people believe that Pi was used in the Christian Bible. It is said that in the sixth century, Pi was used by christians to erect an altar in the temple of Solomon. Although this belief has been backed up by some people, others have tried to use it to prove that the Christian Bible is false. There also exists a third group who thinks that this proves that Pi's true value is 3, not 3.14. Click to read about those people. Ever since its discovery Pi has attracted a group of people whose life work is to find out the digits of Pi. Although Pi has been calculated to more decimal points than anyone could ever use, there are still people who are obsessed with learning more about Pi. These people are called digit hunters. One of the first digit hunters was Ludolf van Ceulen. His calculations led to the placement of Pi to 35 digits. It is rumored that he had the digit engraved on his tombstone. Although he is famous for his work, it soon became obsolete, and now that computers are being used to calculate Pi, we will drift further and further away from his discovery. Pi has just been placed to one million digits and some wonder if this will be enough. The truth is that as long as there are people out there who dedicate their life work to the extension of Pi, our knowledge of it will grow larger.

Forum ALGERIE Débats et Réflexions Islam et Humanité PDA Voir la version complète : La Science Et La Religion, Les Miracles Du Coran Il y a quatorze siècles, Dieu a fait descendre le Coran sur l'humanité pour la guider. Il appela les hommes à se diriger vers la vérité en adhérant à ce livre. Depuis le jour de sa révélation jusqu'au Jour de la Résurrection, cet ultime livre divin demeurera le seul guide de l'humanité. Le style incomparable du Coran et la sagesse supérieure qu'il renferme sont des preuves irréfutables qu'il s'agit de la parole de Dieu. Mais le Coran possède aussi de nombreux attributs miraculeux prouvant qu'il est une révélation divine: un certain nombre de vérités scientifiques, que seule la technologie du 20ème siècle nous a permis de découvrir, étaient déjà affirmées dans le Coran voici 1400 ans. Le Coran n'est, bien entendu, pas un ouvrage scientifique. Cependant, de nombreux faits scientifiques, exprimés dans ses versets d'une manière extrêmement concise et profonde, n'ont été découverts qu'au moyen de la technologie du 20ème siècle. On ne pouvait détenir ce savoir à l'époque de la révélation du Coran, et c'est là une preuve supplémentaire que le Coran est la parole de Dieu. Afin de comprendre le miracle scientifique du Coran, nous devons d'abord voir quel était le niveau de la science à l'époque où ce livre sacré a été révélé.
