Happy Pi DaY
Most people have heard of the mathematical
constant Pi (π), and know that it’s roughly
3.14. Taking inspiration from these three
digits, March 14 (3/14 in the US date
format) is celebrated as international Pi
day,first marked by US physicist LarryShaw
in1988. The number π is a universal
constant that is ubiquitous across
mathematics. In fact, it is an understatement
to call it “universal,” because π lives not
only in this universe but in any conceivable
universe. It existed even prior to the Big
Bang. It is permanent and unchanging.This
year brought a unique opportunity to by
marking Pi Day correct to nine decimal
places on March 14, 2015, at 9.26am 53sec
– corresponding to 3.141592653, the first 10
digits of Pi.
Some interesting Facts
About Pi
 Pi is a irrational number which means it
cannot be accurately represented as a/b
where a, b are integer, this was proved
by Johann Lambert in1761.tThis means
its decimal expansion is never ending
with no repeated pattern.
 Pi is also a transcendental number i.e., a
number that cannot be reduced
algebraically (more accurately a number
that is not the root of any non-zero
polynomial equation with rational
coefficients)
 The proof that Pi is transcendental was
found in 1882 by German mathematician
Ferdinand Lindemann

 Some
people
spend
a
lifetime
calculating π. Ludolph van Ceulen did,
and got it to a 35 decimals,
3.14159265358979323846264338327950
288, that also in the 17th century when
calculations were done by hand.
 The current record for calculating digits
of Pi is 13.3 trillion decimal digits.
 There are thousands of formulae to
calculate Pi,the most remarkable is the
one given by Indian mathematician
Ramanujan in 1941.
Those who have missed this ear
coincidence of Pi day will have to
wait for 100 years to experience it next
time!

Maths helps to predict how
the body fights disease
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers
have defined for the first time how the size of
the immune response is controlled, using
mathematical models to predict how
powerfully immune cells respond to infection .
The finding has implications for our
understanding of how harmful or beneficial
immune responses can be manipulated for
better health. The research team used
mathematics and computer modeling to
understand how complex signaling impacts
the size of the response by key infectionfighting immune system called T cells. T cells
are important for launching specific immune
responses against invading microbes, as well
as eliminating some cancer cells.

Answer me ......?
Insert mathematical operations :000=6
111=6
222=6
333=6
444=6
777=6
888=6
999=6
Answer :
(0! + 0! +0!) ! = (1+1+1)! = 3! = 6
(1+1+1)! = 3! = 6
2+2+2 = 6
3*3 - 3 = 6
4+4 – (square root of 4) = 8-2 = 6
5+ (5/5) = 5+1 = 6
6+6-6 = 6
7- (7/7) = 7-1 = 6
(cube root of 8) + (cube root of 8) + (cube root
of 8) = 2+2+2 = 6
(square root of 9)*(square root of 9) - (square
root of 9) = 3*3-3 = 6
