/sci/ - Science & Math

I don't give a shit. That's my opinion.

>>6986222
Fair enough! :D

>Why do people love this number
Because they're try hard pop-science "fans" who think they're enlightened for watching NDT and memorizing digits of pi. They gravitate to pi because it's the most widely recognized "special" number, by virtue of being the one everyone learns in middle school.

>>6986272
I kinda hate it that your right. People want their names to be known and everyone knows pi so memorising it makes them known. It's not all the maths behind it it's because everyone knows it and it's infinite. I personally like it because it's my special interest. I'm autistic and I love memorising things and pi is one of them. I sit in the corner of my room memorising digits for hours, just repeating them to myself. I also know the whole elements song, it's just what I like. I like your picture it helps illustrate it, thanks! I do take interest in what's behind the name, I did a statistics gcse earlier, that was a lot of data handling, I tell you now. But I love it every aspect.

Thanks again,

>>6986272
NDT?

>>6986303
>>it's infinite
Your mom's infinite.
It's just a nonfractional real number.

>>6986314
Sorry, I don't actually know! Kek xx

OP xx

Its just a number. May as well like the number 6 as well.

>>6986321
I can see your viewpoint, I like to think we just haven't found the end! :D

OP xxx

>>6986330
13 is my favourite number!

OP xx

I only like them in as far as the problems about them can often be directly checked. If our inter-universal geometer could use his theory to factor a large RSA number into two primes, then people would immediately have to take his theory extremely seriously. Now he says he's proved one of the forall-there exists-such that forall statements which you can't just use to demonstrate the validity of it all.

What I really don't like about number theory is that many proofs are gimmicks, out of the blue tools which sometimes don't reoccur. Hence learning the proof is exhausting. I feel in geometry the proofs are more insightful.

>>6986337
Thank you, I really like what your saying!

shoot yourself in the head you fucking cunt

Because redditors don't know anything else about math so latch onto it. They go 'oohhhh so mathy! if I talk about it I'll be talking about math and I'm so smart like Sagan xD' and the popularity spreads to people who don't actually like math but like being associated with the nerdy and smart label

Then there are the stupid people who don't know anything about philosophy but know something about how pi is infinite. Since infinity is an interesting concept they begin to think pi itself is the most important thing in the universe, even though other irrational numbers are infinite too

>>6986416
OP here. btw im a girl xD xxx

>>6986871
I'm also autistic and but I've never done anything sexual b4, i dunno its like icky. im only 15 years old and have a b cup so i think im too young for that stuff.

but pi xDDDD it's so cool!

>>6986222
>>6986272
I'm with you guys. You only need 39 digits of pi to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to within a hydrogen atom.

I have it memorized to 40 something digits for some reason. I think it's valid for practicing memory techniques (method of loci) but there's probably more interesting things you can remember.

Hello, impersonator, having fun? I don't know how but you got it right. I am a girl, probably the x's

>>6986416
Thank you very much I will! Just get lost if you don't want to read this crap.... Ain't my problem

>>6986867
Also you are correct, whereas me on the other hand, I understand infinity and everything. I'm not bragging but I did get good grades in stuff like this. I had a mathematical conversation before I went to sleep last night, about how infinity is just a concept and cannot exist with our finite lives. And how it may not be true atall and we may just not have the technology to find the end. Cutting something in half, you would never reach the end as such. But you would eventually be cutting atoms in half, then protons and neutrons, and maybe something catastrophically dangerous would happen.

>>6986874
Hey, I don't know why you brought that stuff up but ok, that's your choice. I'm glad you like pi too.

>>6987060
I am aware of that fact but memorising pi is something I find fun, I also like annoying people so I use it for that also. It may not have any use but I like it, btw I know 30 decimal places off by heart.

>>6987063
I agree, I mainly use repetition though.

>>6987079
Thanks for clarification

This is why woman shouldn't step in science.

I will prove you wrong... I'm getting a PhD and you can't stop me

OP xxxxxxxx (extra just for you dick)

>>6986214
It is just the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter of a circle, and it happens to be a irrational number (can't actually be expressed as a ratio of two integers). There is no mistery, but some people like to talk "lel pi so random xD".

>>6987991
I saw your post and I thought, awesome another explanation.

No..... You have wronged me
>it's just the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter of a circle
>the ratio between the perimeter and diameter of a circle
>the perimeter and the diameter of a circle
>the perimeter....

Use correct terminology please, it's one of my pet peeves.

But what does it all mean?? Im drunk si

>>6988156
Are you talking bout pi in general or a specific aspect?

OP xx

>>6986214
It's an error code in what else appears a somewhat perfect universe. This makes people become numberphiles and autist fags...

>>6988442
Do you not like irrational numbers, or is it just the fact that it goes against everything that everyone is drawn to it?

OP xx

>>6988505
>the fact that it goes against everything that everyone is drawn to it?
dude
what

>>6988654
OP is drunk
.>>6988156

>>6986214
It's half of one of the most important numbers.

Why would one use the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter as opposed to it's circumference and its radius?
>>6986335
13 is my favorite age ;^^^^^^)

>>6988654
Sorry I should have used a quote,
>it's an error code

>>6988156
This is not me.....
>>6988889
I don't drink..

>>6988949
You're referring to tau aren't you?
>13 is my favourite age
If that's sexual, take it somewhere else

>>6990622
Sorry
That's me

Plus >>6988949
I have never been taught tau, so wouldn't be able to use it


OP xx

I personally think the golden ratio is much more fascinating. Am I a square, /sci/?

>>6990658
I like the golden ratio also. Still upset because my teacher said we would do a topic on it because I was getting obsessed and everything, but we didn't.

OP xx

>>6986214
Some people are just irrational.

>>6987844
>high school factorization
bait

>>6990658
But the golden ratio isn't even the most pleasing on the eyes.

Tell me why you like it so much.

>>6990658
You're probably a circle if you have to ask

>>6986214
Pi was interesting to me when I was like 8 and had no idea where it came from. In fact, pretty much everything interesting in life comes from stuff I know pretty much nothing about. That characteristic is what drives me to learn more science, since there's a whole damn lot of stuff we don't know about.

>>6991506
So your goal is to be totally uninterested in life?

>>6991427
i was going to post my statistics exam work but couldn't find it. That was all I could find

>>6991428
I can't remember the reason for me being excited on that particular day, but I know I have always liked finding out about new topics in maths. I remember watching a criminal minds episode where the serial killer killed people in the golden ratio spiral on a map. I think cause I absolutely criminal minds, that set it off for me. I like ratios that have names but I love numbers in general, I also like e.

I rate this troll a 7/10. You have now passed "Concepts of trolling" and may proceed to "Trolling: pure and applied". Good luck!
