Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Thank the Greeks for their letter
that we use to represent the number
cause it stands for perimeter

No matter which circle, Pi is always the same number.

Pi has infinite decimals --a pattern? never

The area of a circle is pi times the square
of the length of the radius, or "pi r squared":

 

Einsteins  G = 8 * Pi * T equation is really the one that changed our view of the universe forever, and in a most dramatic way. The G in Einstein's equation is related to the curvature of space. G tells you how the space and time around you differs from flat spacetime.

Einstein & Pi
pipic.gif

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

War!

Since 2000 BC when Pi was found by the Babylonians the rift between the Circles and Triangles has grown.

The Triangles argue that Circles have no angles.

Yet the Circles contest the fact and claim that they are made up of an infinite number of angles.

Will this burning question ever truly be solved?

Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

The area of a circle is eqaul to pi multiplied by the squared radius of the circle ...

 

A circle is the sum of an infinite number of small perfect triangles.

The smaller the triangles that are in a circle, the more they fill it up.

As these triangles shrink their height gets closer to the length of the radius.

The Pythagorean Theorem only tells you how to measure distances if you can lay down a grid. Take that triangles...

The first mathematician to calculate pi with reasonable accuracy was

Archimedes, around 250 B.C. Using the formula: A = pi r^2

Einstein used Pi to take into account the curvature of space when measuring distance.

Einsteins G = 8 * Pi * T equation is really the one that changed our view of the universe forever. .

(the first thousand digits)

Physists have noticed pi in nature.

Pi is obvious in the moon and the sun.

The double helix of DNA revolves around pi.

CIRCLES RULE!

Pi It!

Ha, ha, haaaa
Pi it
Ha ha haaaa
And add it (louder) And minus it (louder) And times it (louder) And divide it (louder) [4x]
Turn up the ratio, blast your stereo, right

Triangles wanna hate on us (who)
Triangles be envious (who)
And I know why they hating on us (why)
Cause our style’s so fabulous (what)
I’ma be real on us (c'mon), nobody got nothing on us (no)
Squares be all on us, from London back down to the US (s, s)
We round (contagious), Archimedes (outrageous)
Just confess, Einstein admits that we the shiznit
C-I-R-C-L-E-S,

D-E-F, that’s right we def, rock
We definite, B-E-P we reppin' it, so

[Chorus]
Turn it up (turn it up) [3x]
Come on baby just
Add it (louder)
Minus it (louder)
Times it (louder)
Divide it (louder)
Add it (louder)
Minus it (louder)
And say, pi i i i
Say, Pi i i i
Yo yo, Turn up the ratio
Blast your stereo right now
This joint is fizzling, it’s sizzling, right

RAP BATTLE

If I gave you a 3

And a 1,4,1,5

You’d have the start

Of the greatest number alive!

If Pi were reduced

To a mere 3

The circles of the world

Would be triangular you see

What may seem minor

Just might be big

So grab some pie

And do some trig!

END


Yeah, that’s the scheme, that’s who we do, that’s who we be
3.14159 to the 2, then the 6 to the 5
When we play you shake your circle
Shake it, shake it, shake it girl
Make sure you don’t break it, girl, ’coz we gonna

[Chorus]
Turn it up (turn it up) [3x]
Come on baby just
Add it (louder)
Minus it (louder)
Times it (louder)
Divide it (louder)
Add it (louder)
Minus it (louder)
And say, Pi i i i
Say, Pi i i i
Yo yo, Turn up the ratio
Blast your stereo right now
This joint is fizzling, it’s sizzling,

Calculate…
