How do one memorize pi easier?

Question

^_^thanks^_^

Answer 1

It is 22/7. So simply divide 22 by 7 and write how many decimal you want.

Answer 2

If you memorize many digits of pi, you will be joining a community of many similarly-minded number lovers. But before you make such a commitment you should really think about why the decimal representation of it is so important. If we are trying to sent a signal to reach intelligent life, binary is preferable, and somehow more pleasant to memorize. It's more like remembering a shape than a bunch of digits.

The best way to approximate real numbers with fractions is via continued fractions, not decimals. This is how one gets the sharp estimates 22/7, 355/113, etc., with small numerators/denominators. So you would get much better mileage memorizing the continued fraction expansion.

Answer 3

Remembering the first six digits (3.14159) is way better than you'll need in practice. To be honest, you only need to memorize the first three digits. If you need an answer accurate to more than 3 significant digits, you would use a calculator or computer. Both would already have pi stored in them in anywhere from 12 to 17 significant digits.

Memorizing the first 100, or the first 1000 digits of pi is really no more relevant than memorizing a list of names in the phone book. The only significance in memorizing the digits of pi is that it gives the appearance that memorizing lists is somehow relevant (most people don't know much about math, but if you memorize a bunch of digits in a significant math constant, most people assume you must be a match whiz).

None the less, if you're really intent on memorizing the digits of pi, memorizing it in a song sometimes works. Kate Bush's song, "Pi", has the first 116 digits of pi in it.

Answer 4

Well thats nice that there is some people that would like to expand their mental horizons like yourself.

By memorizing pie you have a great experience, for you know so many numbers in an order where you can seep them in your brain as long as possible; and now every single one after the other without a fuss.

Now the hard part is doing so.

Pi is harder than you think to memorize; you would want to ask yourself if you want to memorize 10,000 numbers.

But eh; there is not real easy way to do it other than by doing it, by opening your brain and taking step by step.

3.14 has always just been easier; and men have invented calculators to save us the fuss! of memorizing such numbers in our heads

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

can you remember the sequence of odd integers : 113355 ?

divide the last 3 digits by the first 3 digits:

355/113 = pi to 6 places

Answer 6

The number of letters in each word of the sentence below will help you, to remember it rounded to a 10 digit precision.

Can I have a large container of coffee, sugar not needed !
ie
3.1415926536

the correct value is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 though !

Answer 7

"que j'aime a faire apprendre un nombre utile aux sages, Glorieux, Archimede, Artiste, Ingenieur, toi de qui Syracuse loue encore le merite".
que = 3, j = 1, aime = 4, a = 1, faire = 5, apprendre = 9, un = 2 , nombre = 6 etc...
Sorry, it is in French!
22/7 is WRONG. It gives 3.142857 and is already wrong at te third decimal!

Answer 8

I learned ist by repeating 3.1415926 (on my TI 30)

But it is compeltely useless trying to remember pi. just knowing it is aoround 3.14 is sufficient in daily life, in a quiz for example.

Try to remember some usefull numbers for instance the anniversary of your girl friend or het telephone number

Answer 9

Can I have a large container of orange juice?

Answer 10
