I need info on how pi originated, fibonacci nos. Any anyone has a good website?

Question

I searched websites, but they were too complicated when it came to fibonacci, and little is known about the story of pi (3.14)

Answer 1

The Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata in the 5th century gave the approximation π = 62832⁄20000 = 3.1416, correct when rounded off to four decimal places. He also acknowledged the fact that this was an approximation, which is quite advanced for the time period.

The Indian mathematician and astronomer Madhava of Sangamagrama in the 14th century computed the value of π after transforming the power series expansion of π⁄4 into the form
and using the first 21 terms of this series to compute a rational approximation of π correct to 11 decimal places as 3.14159265359. By adding a remainder term to the original power series of π⁄4, he was able to compute π to an accuracy of 13 decimal places.

Indian Mathematician were first to calculate the Perfect value of
pi Which is the same as we use today
.

Answer 2

More than you could ever want to know:
Pi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
Fibo - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

I'll just add, since I don't know how much you know and you, understandably, don't want a highly theoretical account, that the Fibonacci sequence is generated as follows:

Begin with 1. The next number in the series is the sum of the "two" numbers before it (in this case, use 0 and 1).

So, the series begins like this:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc.

[ Pi is *not the circumference of a circle. (2 * pi * radius) is the circumference of a circle ]

Answer 3

wikipedia
oh and fyi....pi is almost
3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749 445923078164062862089986280348253421170679582148086513282306 647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105 559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783 165271201909145648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141 27 72458700660631

Answer 4

actually pi was based off of phi, the golden number. If you start there it will give the whole background

Answer 5

I like Wikipedia for such things.

Answer 6

Check out my website#

There is a link "PROGRAMS", there you can doenload a program named origin of phi. Maybe that's your answer.

Answer 7

Probably the simplest way to put it is
pi = circumference / diameter

Answer 8

Try "Ask Dr. Math"

Answer 9

pie is the circumferance of any circle.
