Robert P Crease invites your comments In Proposition 3 of On the Measurement of the Circle, Archimedes asserts, based on calculations involving regular polygons circumscribed around and inscribed in a circle, that "the ratio of the circumference of any circle to its diameter is less than 3 1/7 but greater than 3 10/71". He thereby strongly reinforced, if he did not actually create, the tradition of considering that ratio, two millennia later referred to as ð, to be fundamental. That shows up as an apple on my newsreader. Apple pi maybe. |
