The story of pi reflects the most seminal, the most serious, and sometimes the most whimsical aspects of mathematics. A surprising amount of the most important mathematics and a signifi cant number of the most important mathematicians have contributed to its unfolding directly or otherwise. Pi is one of the few mathematical concepts whose mention evokes a response of recog nition and interest in those not concerned professionally with the subject. It has been a part of human culture and the educated imagination for more than twenty-five hundred years. The computation of pi is virtually the only topic from the most ancient stratum of mathematics that is still of serious interest to modern mathematical research. To pursue this topic as it developed throughout the millennia is to follow a thread through the history of mathematics that winds through geometry, analysis and special functions, numerical analysis, algebra, and number theory. It offers a subject that provides mathe maticians with examples of many current mathem | | 出版日期 | Book 20002nd edition | | 关键词 | Microsoft Access; algebra; arithmetic; boundary element method; calculus; development; function; functions; | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-3240-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-3240-5 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2000 |
