O knihe
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Proofs of the famous mathematical result that the rational number 22/7 is greater than p date back to antiquity. What follows is a one-line modern mathematical proof that 22/7 p, requiring only elementary techniques from calculus. The purpose is not primarily to convince the reader that 22/7 is indeed bigger than p; systematic methods of computing the value of p exist. Unlike some elementary proofs, the calculus-based proof presented here is straightforward; its elegance results from its connections to the theory of diophantine approximations. Stephen Lucas calls this proposition 'One of the more beautiful results related to approximating p'. Julian Havil ends a discussion of continued fraction approximations of p with the result, describing it as 'impossible to resist mentioning' in that context.
