You are probably not a maths professor.\u00a0 I’m not.\u00a0 Nor an expert in quantum theory. Or differential calculus.\u00a0 But I like collecting pseudo-brainy-sounding general knowledge stuff in case\u00a0I ever go on Mastermind\/University Challenge (you never know).<\/p>\n
‘Pi ‘(<\/strong>or ‘\u03c0’ <\/strong>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?\u00a0 And it’s quite handy to have it stuffed in the back of your mind in case anyone ever calls you stupid.<\/p>\n You can also teach it to your kids when you’re in a traffic jam.<\/p>\n Well, what is Pi?\u00a0 It’s 3.141592<\/p>\n How are you going to remember that?<\/p>\n ‘How I wish I could calculate Pi’.<\/p>\n That’s how.<\/p>\n The letters in each word add up to give you Pi to six decimal places.\u00a0 Now that’s impressive.<\/p>\n How to remember the speed of light?\u00a0 Another useful nugglet of info.\u00a0 That’s coming next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You are probably not a maths professor.\u00a0 I’m not.\u00a0 Nor an expert in quantum theory.
