    Extractions: "Pi" and More in Torah The Bible and the Value of "PI" Does the Bible contain a mathematical error? Not at all! Biblical Value of Pi 1.0471698, which multiplied by 3 is pi . "1047" in the Old Testament lexicon can be transliterated as "pi." Hence, " house of pi ." Indeed, truth is stranger than fiction. Solomon and the Molten Sea here that the scripture is not exact, what other passages also contain words that cannot be received with complete accuracy? 1 Kings 7:26 It [the above mentioned metal pool] was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom . It held two thousand baths. If the diameter of this bowl was 10 cubits, then the circumference should have been 31.415926 cubits, and not just 30 cubits! Any math student will tell you that the circumference of a circle is found by taking the diameter times Pi (3.14159265358979...), is commonly approximated by 22/7 if great accuracy is not needed. Is this an error?

    Extractions: The Slices of Pi applet, included below, demonstrates a Java virtual machine executing a sequence of bytecodes that calculates pi. This applet is described in Appendix D, "Slices of Pi: A Simulation of the Java Virtual Machine", of Inside the Java 2 Virtual Machine For some reason, your browser won't let you view this way cool Java applet. The bytecode sequence in the simulation was generated by javac for the method of the PiCalculator class shown below: The Algorithm The method loops forever in an attempt to find and capture the elusive pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. To calculate pi, the method tries to determine the area of a circle that has a radius of one. Because the circle has a radius of one, the circle's area is pi itself. To determine the area of the circle with radius one, the method works to find the area of one fourth of the circle, then multiplies that area by four to get pi. Here's a diagram of a circle with the area that

    Extractions: by John H. H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 180. Today, let's talk about and not the kind you eat. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S chool-children can always be found competing to see who knows the most digits of pi the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. My interest and patience usually ran out at 3.14159256. But finding out what those digits were has been a major mathematical challenge ever since the invention of the wheel first stirred a real interest in circles. The earliest recorded values of pi were Phoenician and Egyptian. They were 3 1/8 and 3 13/81. Both values are accurate within a half a percent. Where did these values came from? From measurements? Well, try measuring pi with a piece of string. You won't come this close. The Hebrew peoples used a rough empirical value of pi in the Bible. It was three, and it's found in a text that shows up in both the 1st Book of Kings and the 2nd Book of Chronicles:

    Extractions: For The Exact Value Of Pi By Reddivari Sarva Jagannadha Reddy. 2001, spiral bound. $60, red cover, gms 640 Pi does not equal 3.141592 A nb: THIS RARE BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE. It actually contains 60 different and amazing ways of calculating Pi = 3.1464466 never before shown in print!!! (see Products section) This book shakes the whole foundation of Western Mathematics. In fact, all the Mathematics books have to be rewritten. What will happen now is that the top Mathematicians from the West will be invited to meet the top Mathematicians from the East and an importance International Conference is brewing, to determine the final and eternal Truth of Pi that the Ancients knew. I (Jain) have been waiting for 25 years for this material to emerge. Intuitively knowing all these years that Pi was wrong, that was why I had never written about for 25 years, as I was switched off by the error. I therfore had focussed my whole attention on the Phi Ratio (1:1.618033… the mathematics of where the elbow bends in proportion to the length of the whole arm etc). Soon, new maths will emerge linking the relationship of Pi and Phi, and as most scholars know, the only 3-Dimensional symbol that contains Pi and Phi is the Cheops Pyramid of Egypt that really is the invisible sacred geometry of Light.

    Extractions: The argument goes that since the bible is the product of a perfect God then it must gets its sums perfectly correct. This ignores that fact that God does not dictate the bible, but uses humans in their own historical and social context. In human day to day affairs we frequently use approximations. (1 Ki 7:23 NIV) He 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. (1 Ki 7:26 NIV) It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths. Answer Three is a first approximation to PI. As far as we know PI is a number with no exact solution in other words it is likely to have a very large number of decimals. If we take the argument to its logical conclusion we can say that if the Bible came from an infinite God then he should express PI exactly (and the Bible would be full of numbers). In fact he used men to express his word and to the men of that day three is a good approximation. If the author were an artisan then no doubt he would say that PI is three and a bit. We also understand that the rim was a handbreadth in thickness or about 7.4 cm. The cubit is 44.45 cm.

55. Buffon's Needle
    Monte Carlo estimation of pi using Java. Buffon s Needle refers to a simpleMonte Carlo method for the estimation of the value of pi, 3.14159265.  
    http://www.angelfire.com/wa/hurben/buff.html
    
    Extractions: Buffon's Needle refers to a simple Monte Carlo method for the estimation of the value of pi, 3.14159265... The idea is very simple. Suppose you have a tabletop with a number of parallel lines drawn on it, which are equally spaced (say the spacing is 1 inch, for example). Suppose you also have a pin or needle, which is also an inch long. If you drop the needle on the table, you will find that one of two things happens: (1) The needle crosses or touches one of the lines, or (2) the needle crosses no lines. The idea now is to keep dropping this needle over and over on the table, and to record the statistics. Namely, we want to keep track of both the total number of times that the needle is randomly dropped on the table (call this N), and the number of times that it crosses a line (call this C). If you keep dropping the needle, eventually you will find that the number 2N/C approaches the value of pi! Why does this work? It is not hard to show, with a little bit of calculus, that the probability on any given drop of the needle that it should cross a line is given by 2/pi. After many trials, the value of C/N, the number of crossing needles divided by the total number of needles, will approach the value of the probability. How to use this applet: The left hand side shows the tabletop with parallel lines, being covered with needles randomly. Click on "Start" to begin. Note that if you click on "Start," again, it will begin the simulation from scratch. The bar graph in the middle displays the value of the current estimate over a smaller range. When you begin, the estimated value will probably be outside of this range. The plot on the right shows the estimated value versus the log of the number of needles thrown, on a wider scale. The right-most border of the plot corresponds to N=100,000 needles.

    Extractions: Please e-mail comments, corrections and additions to the webmaster at pje@efgh.com Mathematics contains many interesting transcendental constants, but only one of them was known to the ancients. It is pi, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. Archimedes was the first mathematician to compute an approximate value for pi. Previous values had been based on physical measurements of limited accuracy. We will use Archimedes' method to compute an approximate value of pi, using only mathematics known to Archimedes. However, we will be doing our computations on a computer, and we will get a much more accurate value than he did. The ancients didn't have a very good theory of limits; neither do most non-mathematicians. But some things are fairly obvious. A regular polygon with many sides is approximately a circle. Its perimeter is approximately the circumference of the circle, and its area is approximately the area of the circle. The more sides the polygon has, the more accurate the approximation. If the polygon has enough sides, any desired degree of accuracy can be obtained. To find an approximate value for pi, we will inscribe regular polygons in a circle of radius 1. The perimeters of the polygons can be computed in some cases, using nothing more advanced than the Pythagorean theorem, which was known to Archimedes. In particular, if we know the length of each side of the regular polygon with n sides, we can compute the length of each side of the regular polygon with 2n sides.

    Extractions: by Chuck Missler When I was a teenager, I was confronted by a skeptic (a Unitarian, actually) concerning an apparent discrepancy in 1 Kings 7:23. This passage deals with Solomon's Temple and the products of Hiram the Bronzeworker: And he made a molten sea , ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 1 Kings 7:23 The huge cast bronze basin in 1 Kings 7:23 was 10 cubits in diameter and its circumference was 30 cubits, which is mathematically inaccurate. Almost any schoolboy knows that the circumference of a circle is not the diameter times 3, but rather, the diameter times a well-known constant called "pi".

    Extractions: John Ludwigson Washington Apple Pi Journal, reprint information The cost of computers keeps going down especially in comparison to what they can do, but... The cost of computing is sneaking steadily up. One of the major factors is the quiet disappearance of free support from the manufacturers once you've plunked down your money for their goodies. How does $35 "per incident" and paying for a long distance call, perhaps across the country, sound? If you resolve your problem quickly and don't spend too much time on hold you may get away for only $2.99 per minute, plus the phone charges. Of course, the manufacturers decide what constitutes an "incident." How soon does this dwarf the paltry $49 per year ($69 with internet email and expanded TCS service) that we pay for Washington Apple Pi? For that, we can have an "incident" a day and get quick, disinterested advice from people who've been there every time. For really serious "incidents," the Pi offers Hotline volunteers dozens of volunteers! who will provide one-on-one help with virtually whatever ails ya, computationally speaking. Even when you crank in the cost of Explorer full internet service (and it's getting to be much more than that...check out the Explorer homepage, the one with the penguin sitting on an ice cube), or the modest cost of the many tutorial classes offered in the Pi's well-equipped classroom, we're ahead.
