     Extractions: DOVER, Pennsylvania - The Dover school board has raised eyebrows and ire across Pennsylvania and the country after requiring math teachers to offer 3 as an acceptable value of Pi. Pi is the name given to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly accepted to be 3.141592, though the actual number is believed to go on endlessly, without repeating. "That's all well and good," said Maureen Callister, Dover school board member, "But what about God? Doesn't he have a say?" Callister cited the Bible, First Kings chapter 7, verse 23, where it says, "He [King Solomon] proceeded to make the molten sea ten cubits from its brim to its other brim, [...] and it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around it." "If 3 is a good enough 'pi' for the Almighty, then it ought to be good enough for us," stated Callister. "Listen, I go to church on Sundays, I tithe, I don't need this."

Asserting a permission or permission set is your method's way of saying that it vouches for every method that is calling into it; that the stack walk should go no further. When calling into my Pi class, the call stack looks like this:

     http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rajm/pinature.htm
     
     Extractions: Over the years, people have pointed out that it's possible to get a pretty accurate value of the famous constant Pi ( = 3.14159....) from studying the dimensions of the Great Pyramid. Its base measures 230.35 metres, while its slanting face angle is 51.867 degrees, leading to an apex height of 146.71 metres, and thus a ratio of base to height of 1.5701, which is within 99.96 per cent of the true value of Pi/2. Some have even gone so far as to claim that this proves that aliens helped the great Egyptian engineer/architect Imhotep erect the pyramids. More likely, the presence of Pi in the design is really just a figment of the surveying techniques used, which may well have featured wheeled devices whose circumference is of course simply Pi times the wheel's diameter. In this paper, I show that it is possible to extract a similarly accurate value of Pi from a rather more "cosmic" source: the scattering of the brightest stars in the night sky. Back to homepage

110. The Straight Dope: Did A State Legislature Once Pass A Law Saying Pi Equals 3?
     There may have been other values for pi as well; the bill was so confusinglywritten that it s impossible to tell exactly what Goodwin was getting at.  
     http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_341.html
     
     Extractions: In Science magazine a while back an article about the latest attempts to calculate pi to the umpteen zillionth decimal place made a passing reference to a curious Oklahoma law. It said Oklahoma legislators had passed a law making pi equal to 3.0. I also remember Robert Heinlein in one of his novels mentioning that Tennessee had passed a similar law. Did either of these states ever pass such a law? Are they still on the books? What are the penalties if I proclaim that pi equals 3.14159...? Wulf Losee, Andover, Connecticut Cecil had heard this story too, only the state in question was Kansas, leading him to believe the whole thing was made up by big-city sharpies having a little fun at the expense of the rustics. However, with the help of Joseph Madachy, editor of the Journal of Recreational Mathematics, I've learned the story does have a germ of truth to it. It happened in Indiana. Although the attempt to legislate pi was ultimately unsuccessful, it did come pretty close. In 1897 Representative T.I. Record of Posen county introduced House Bill #246 in the Indiana House of Representatives. The bill, based on the work of a physician and amateur mathematician named Edward J. Goodwin (Edwin in some accounts), suggests not one but three numbers for pi, among them 3.2, as we shall see. The punishment for unbelievers I have not been able to learn, but I place no credence in the rumor that you had to spend the rest of your natural life in Indiana.

Working conditions were bad, productivity was at an all time low and the mill was on the verge of bankruptcy. He introduced "Operation Turnaround", based on the simple message that each person would be valued, because it was the right thing to do. Implementing the new strategy took courage, but produced amazing results The Questions "What will it take for us to be a world-class organisation?"
