天空中的圆周率(Pi in the sky)

今天,我们庆祝圆周率日,这是一个特殊的日子,以纪念这个将圆的周长与其直径联系起来的数学常数。之所以选择3月14日,是因为PI的第一个重要数字(3.14)对应于这一日期。Pi是一个无理数,这意味着它的十进制表示永远不会结束或重复。最早的计算尝试可以追溯到公元前1900年左右的巴比伦和埃及古代文明。
原文:
Today, we celebrate Pi Day, a special day to commemorate the mathematical constant that links the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The reason for choosing March 14th is that the first important number of PI (3.14) corresponds to this date. Pi is an irrational number, which means its decimal representation never ends or repeats. The earliest attempts at calculation can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of Babylon and Egypt around 1900 BC.
