minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down2·5 months agoMaybe it knows something about pi we don’t. It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 months agoHyperreal numbers go brrr. I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.

minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 months agoI saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect. In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·5 months agoMathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoThat’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
