[edit] Projects

What Projects need to be researched besides Pi Hex and Background Pi? And does anyone know where good information about Pi Hex still exists since there website seems to have disappeared?

[edit] Citations?

I removed the citations-needed template, since I can't find anything obvious that looks like it needs a citation. Lunkwill 23:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Just thought it might be a good idea to have some referances to sources that are respected as being fact. Deathbob 18:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error

I just checked with Mathematica 5.2 and it sais it's pi. Could you explain your reasoning? Deathbob 17:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] π

The following equation is TRUE!

\pi = (\frac{ 2 (2\pi + 3) + 4}{2} -5)(\frac{1}{2\pi}) (\frac{\pi^n}{\pi^{n-1}})\,\!
It is, Briguychau. But that's just a complicated, unuseful way of expressing π. Why would you want to do that and why put it into an encyclopedia? You realize that (\frac{1}{2\pi}) (\frac{\pi^n}{\pi^{n-1}}) = \frac{1}{2}, don't you? Ocolon 12:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I just put this equation here to make people calculate it to the result \pi = \pi\,\!. Briguychau 2:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
