minus-squarepearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·10 months agoIt’s just an equation that gives you the first few digits of pi if you treat pi as a variable. But, pi isn’t a variable, so it’s not a real equation.
minus-squarepearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months ago pi is being treated as if it’s some value that it’s not in the first equation That’s a variable. The value of ‘pi’ is dependent on the rest of the equation. If you treat it as a variable, the math gives you 3.1415926536.
