Approximation Pi facts
While investigating facts about Approximation Pi Monte Carlo and Approximation Pi Python, I found out little known, but curios details like:
You can estimate Pi using a shotgun, with the Monte Carlo approximation
how to calculate an approximation for pi?
That, although 22/7 is the best-known rational approximation of pi, there are better ones, for example, 333/106, and 355/113. The latter differs from actual pi by only about 0.0000003.
What fraction is the common approximation of pi?
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across answering what is the approximation of pi. Here are 10 of the best facts about Approximation Pi Fraction and Approximation Pi C++ I managed to collect.
what is pi approximation day?
-
The pi approximate number 355/113 has a name: Milü
-
An US gallon is exactly 231 = 3*7*11 cubic inches. And that this numbers stem from the fraction 22/7 as an approximation for pi.
-
Counting collisions of blocks of vastly different masses can approximate the number pi
-
Humans have not had an approximation of pi better than 1000 digits until the mid 20th century
-
If you draw out a board with needles using columns 2 needles long, then toss them at random onto this board, the total number of needles / the number of needles crossing a line will approximate Pi
-
22/7 is a closer approximation to pi than 3.14. 22/7 differs by 0.00126, while 3.14 differs by 0.00159.
-
There is a unit called a Nanocentury, which is sometimes used in computing by IBM. A Nanocentury is approximately 3.155 seconds, which is a number surprisingly close to pi.
-
You can approximate pi by throwing frozen hot dogs (or other long thin objects) on the ground
