Den Pi


Den Pi je svatek pripominajici matematickou konstantu Pi. Den Pi se slavi 14. brezna, protoze 3, 1 a 4 jsou nejvyznamejsi cislice z cisla Pi v desitkove podobe.
Den Pi zalozil Larry Shaw v roce 1988.

Cislo Pi

Pi je matematicka konstanta, ktera udava pomer obvodu jakehokoli kruhu k jeho prumeru. Jeji hodnota v desitkove soustave je priblizne 3,14159265. Mnoho matematickych, vedeckych a inzenyrskych rovnic obsahuje Pi, coz z nej dela jednu z nejdulezitejsich matematickych konstant. Pi je iracionalni cislo, coz znamena, ze nemuze byt vyjadreno zlomkem m/n, kde m a n jsou cela cisla. To take znamena, ze jej nelze vyjadrit konecnym zpusobem v desitkove soustave, a to ani pomoci periody. Navic je Pi dokonce transcendentni cislo, z cehoz mimo jine vyplyva, ze ho nelze vyjadrit konecne dlouhou radou algebraickych operaci s celymi cisly.
Nynejsi rekord v nejpresnejsim odhadu Pi v desitkove soustave je 5 bilionu cislic.

Pi Day


Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant Pi (3.14). Celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of π (3.14).
Pi Day was founded by Physicist Larry Shaw in 1988.

Number Pi

The number Pi is a mathematical constant. Originally defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. Many mathematical, scientific, and engineering equations contain Pi, making it one of the most important mathematical constants. Pi is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed as a fraction of m / n, where m and n are integers. This also means that it cannot be expressed in a finite way in a decimal system, even by period.
The current record in the most accurate Pi estimate in the decimal is 5 trillion digits.
