Pythagorean Theorem and its applications
... E.) The National Safety Council recommends placing the base of a ladder one foot from the wall for every three feet of the ladder’s length. How far away from a wall should you place a 15-foot ladder? How high can the ladder safely reach? a2 + b2 = c2 The ladder is the hypotenuse of the right trian ...

The Dynamics of Continued Fractions
... numbers and d < b. Then a/b is closer to x than c/d is. (In other words, a/b sets a record of accuracy among fractions with a given denominator size.) The continued fraction method can be applied to any irrational number and, as can be seen from the π example, usually yields very random terms. Beaut ...
