minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years 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-down2·2 years agoMathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoThat’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-22 years 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.

Pi is 1 in base-pi

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
