Geocache Description:

Si vous trouvez une cache mystere en ce jour, 14 mars 2015,  un souvenir vous sera remis dans votre page de profil.


Pi1 est un nombre, que l’on représente par la lettre grecque du même nom : π. C’est le rapport constant de la circonférence d’un cercle à son diamètre dans un plan euclidien. On peut également le définir comme le rapport de la superficie d’un cercle au carré de son rayon.

Sa valeur approchée par défaut à moins de 0,5×10–15 près2 est 3,141 592 653 589 793 en écriture décimale3,4.

 

*************************************************************************************

 

The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/p/).

Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction, although fractions such as 22/7 and other rational numbers are commonly used to approximate π. Consequently its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern. The digits appear to be randomly distributed; however, to date, no proof of this has been discovered. Also, π is a transcendental number – a number that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having rational coefficients. This transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge.

At 9:26:53 am on March 14th, you will get the first 10 significant digits of Pi: 3.141592653. This only occurs once every century!
