minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink17•6 months agoMaybe it knows something about pi we don’t. It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.
minus-square@blind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilink8•6 months agoI saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect. In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink2•6 months agoMathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.
minus-square@Buddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•6 months agoThat’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.

minus-square@CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilink3•edit-26 months agoHyperreal numbers go brrr. I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.

Pi is 10 in base-pi
EDIT: 10, not 1

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
