    Extractions: by Alex Bogomolny August 2001 Compte de Buffon (1707-1788) in the 18 th century posed and solved the very first problem of geometric probability. A needle of a given length L is tossed on a wooden floor with evenly spaced cracks, distance D apart. What is the probability of the needle hitting a crack? The answer he discovered with the help of integral calculus is given by the simple formula [ Beckmann Eves Kasner Paulos ... Stein P = 2L/ p D With P approximated by the ratio of hits to the total number of tosses, the formula offers a way of evaluating p , an observation that eventually led Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827) to propose a method, known today as the Monte Carlo Method, for numerical evaluation of various quantities by realizing appropriate random events. History records several names of people who applied the method manually to approximate p . A Captain Fox [ Beckmann , p. 77] mentions Wolf from Zurich (1850) who obtained

Pi is always the same number, no matter which circle you use to compute it. For the sake of usefulness people often need to approximate pi. For many purposes you can use 3.14159, which is really pretty good, but if you want a better approximation you can use a computer to get it. Here's pi to many more digits: 3.14159265358979323846. The area of a circle is pi times the square of the length of the radius, or "pi r squared": A = pi*r^2 A very brief history of pi Pi is a very old number. We know that the Egyptians and the Babylonians knew about the existence of the constant ratio pi, although they didn't know its value nearly as well as we do today. They had figured out that it was a little bigger than 3; the Babylonians had an approximation of 3 1/8 (3.125), and the Egyptians had a somewhat worse approximation of 4*(8/9)^2 (about 3.160484), which is slightly less accurate and much harder to work with. For more, see A History of Pi by Petr Beckman (Dorset Press).

    Extractions: SAT scores for the high school class of 2002 were even with last year's graduates, as a two-point increase in math proficiency was offset by a two-point decrease on the language portion of the college entrance test. Figures released Tuesday by the College Board, the New York-based nonprofit which owns the SAT, reflect a cumulative score of 1,020 - identical to the average achieved by the class of 2001. Test-takers averaged 504 on the verbal segment of the test and 516 on the math section. Gaston Caperton, the College Board president, noted math scores have increased by 15 points over the past 10 years, and attributed the gain to a renewed emphasis on mathematics in the nation's high schools. The College Board said 45 percent of this year's high school seniors took precalculus, compared to 12 percent in 1992.

30. Is The Speed Of Light Constant?
    Original by Philip Gibbs 1996. Is The Speed of Light constant? This quantity is also referred to as c. Is c, the speed of light in vacuum, constant?  
    http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/speed_of_light.htm
    
    Extractions: Original by Philip Gibbs 1996. There are a number of senses to the meaning of this question and so there are a number of different answers. Firstly . . . Yes. Light is slowed down in transparent media such as air, water and glass. The ratio by which it is slowed is called the refractive index of the medium and is always greater than one. This was discovered by Jean Foucault in 1850. When people talk about "the speed of light" in a general context, they usually mean the speed of light in a vacuum. This quantity is also referred to as c At the 1983 Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures , the following SI (Systeme International) definition of the metre was adopted: The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. This defines the speed of light in vacuum to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s. This provides a very short answer to the question "Is

    Extractions: It is also known as the Euler-Mascheroni constant . According to Glaisher [ ], the use of the symbol g is probably due to the geometer Lorenzo Mascheroni (1750-1800) who used it in 1790 while Euler used the letter C. The constant g is deeply related to the Gamma function G (x) thanks to the Weierstrass formula G g It is not known if g is an irrational or a transcendental number. The question of its irrationality has challenged mathematicians since Euler and remains a famous unresolved problem. By computing a large number of digits of g and using continued fraction expansion, it has been shown that if g is a rational number p/q then the denominator q must have at least 242080 digits. Even if g is less famous than the constants p and e, it deserves a great attention since it plays an important role in
