Impressive but slightly unusual stuff to pop into your head
You are probably not a maths professor. I’m not. Nor an expert in quantum theory. Or differential calculus. But I like collecting pseudo-brainy-sounding general knowledge stuff in case I ever go on Mastermind/University Challenge (you never know).
‘Pi ‘(or ‘π’ if we are going to be all Greek about this) is a mathematical constant that big brainboxes find really useful for doing their sums. It’s also an ‘irrational number’ – do you love that? And it’s quite handy to have it stuffed in the back of your mind in case anyone ever calls you stupid.
You can also teach it to your kids when you’re in a traffic jam.
Well, what is Pi? It’s 3.141592
How are you going to remember that?
‘How I wish I could calculate Pi’.
That’s how.
The letters in each word add up to give you Pi to six decimal places. Now that’s impressive.
How to remember the speed of light? Another useful nugglet of info. That’s coming next.
