  25 fascinating facts about pi 1.  The  symbol for Pi  has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706. The symbol was made popular by the mathematician Leonhard Euler. 2.  Since the exact value of pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle. 3.  March 14 or 3/14 is celebrated as pi day because 3.14 are the first digits of pi. Math nerds around the world love celebrating this infinitely long, never-ending number. 4.  The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, Vellore, India on 21 March 2015. He was able to recite 70,000 decimal places. To maintain the sanctity of the record, Rajveer wore a blindfold throughout the duration of his recall, which took an astonishing 10 hours! Can’t believe it? Well,  here is the evidence. 5.   Pi is actually a part of Egyptian mytho...

  The Bermuda Triangle is also called the Devil's Triangle . It is an imaginary place near Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas in the United States. The American author Vincent Gaddis was the first to define its boundary in 1964 in an issue of the magazine named Argosy and called the area 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.  It is situated in the Atlantic Ocean. It is claimed that whoever goes around this area does not come back, let it be a plane or a ship. There are many studies which show that there may be a scientific reason behind it but there are other people who claim that there are some aliens who take the people as some sort of experiment. This triangle is a mysterious triangle which covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. Everyone tried to solve this mystery but there is no single theory that solved it. Bermuda triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile a...

MATHS AND DANCE   Studies have suggested that mathematics and dance can be integrated to increase one’s understanding of either. In line with the current theories that advocate for teaching different students according to their favorite learning approaches, this could just be the beginning of an integration between the two (Watson, pp. 1). From the basic definition, dance is defined as the rhythmical movement of the body in response to music. This can be compared to mathematical curves derived from trigonometry, for example, the sine and the cosine functions describe a smooth repetitive rhythm similar to body movements in response to music. Several dances around the world are typically mathematical dance forms. The dancers follow set patterns; dancers have a body shape that defines a rotational symmetry; the music itself is rhythmic; and it is essentially possible to use algebraic formulas to calculate the supposed positions of dancers in a group . Conceptual forms of structure, f...

  Mathematics forms the building blocks of the natural world and can be seen in stunning ways. The Fibonacci Sequence Named for the famous mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, this number sequence is a simple, yet profound pattern. Based on  Fibonacci rabbit's problem this sequence begins with the numbers 1 and 1, and then each subsequent number is found by adding the two  previous numbers. Therefore, after 1 and 1, the next number is 2 (1+1). The next number is 3 (1+2) and then 5 (2+3) and so on. What’s remarkable is that  the numbers in the sequence are often seen in nature . Fractals in Nature Fractals are another intriguing mathematical shape that we seen in nature. A fractal is a self-similar, repeating shape, meaning the same basic shape is seen again and again in the shape itself. In other words, if you were to zoom way in or zoom way out, the same shape is seen throughout. Hexagons in Nature Another of nature’s geometric wonders is the hexagon. A regular hexag...
