One of the things that always looks "wrong" t me is the way a decimal can go a digit or two or many then suddenly start repeating.

Obviously once it starts repeating you know that continues, but what is the triger for a repeat?

.666666666666 makes sense, that is just the decimal equivalent of 2/3rds. You can even say it in your head, "Well...6 is about 2/3rds but you need to take 2/3ds of the next digit," and so on...."

.345817581758175817 makes NO sense to my brain.

Neither does pi.

Its a ratio... It should come out like 3.13.333333333333333333333 that would make sense.

I even buy 3.141592654 and so on...

I even buy going out 100 or 1000s of places before it starts to form a pattern. But NEVER? How is that possible?

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.pi.html
"By definition, pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi is always the same number, no matter which circle you use to compute it."
... A = pi*r^2
"As a number that cannot be written as a repeating decimal or a finite decimal (you can never get to the end of it) pi is*irrational:*it cannot be written as a fraction (the ratio of two integers).

Pi shows up in some unexpected places like*probability,*and the 'famous five' equation connecting the five most important numbers in mathematics, 0, 1, e, pi, and i:e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0."


Easy peasy.

Also, there is a pattern to Pi: Use the zeros, it's easier to spot.

Just as addictive is plotting out the Mandelbrot set. I wrote a program to zero in and magnify portions of the curves. Fascinating stuff. I can do it for days at a time...

You know, my blond-headed boy was a little math genius even though he got nothing genetically from me.

So my first genetic endowment, I threw in an X chromosome...just for fun....and because my family, for generations throws girls. I was the last Query in my line going all the way back to 1776 with Captain Query.

So little blond girl is like 3. Decides to put a bunch of pennies into the vacuum cleaner air vents down into the motor. Little blond boy would have simply taken the vacuum apart with a screwdriver.) She was too little and too cute to beat so I made her watch how much work it was to dissemble the vac and get them all out.

Since I beat everything to death. I also made her learn to count all 32 of them, then add and subtract. I had such hopes.

She was GREAT in math.

Until she wasn't. Algebra slayed her. She could not get her head around it the way it is taught.

So I taught her that the way I taught my younger sister with explaining the anti-social Mr.X and all of the various cheat-codes available to get things that annoy Mr.X over to the other side of the equal-sign-fence.

She mastered algebra, but no interest in the elegant delights of analytical geometry, the simple, useful formulas of trigonometry, or the calligraphy of calculus.

What IS it with math and the X chromosome?

I have an untested theory that girls are late bloomers and should stick it out. The DUMBEST girl in my advanced algebra class, as in should not have been IN advanced algebra s now a full professor of mathematics.

Are you complaining about numbers or society?

Also, there is a pattern to Pi: Use the zeros, it's easier to spot.

Is there a pattern? Do you mean a non-repeating pattern, but a pattern?

I'm very Aspergers. I've never really stared at more than a couple hundred digits, maybe 500 max. I see patterns where there aren't any in life, and I have never noticed one in pi.


I could create a predictable pattern that has no end and is not repeating the way Fibonacci is?

I don't notice numbers in a general way. I'm a words oriented person so I just kind of think of numbers as short hand cus you was lazy.

What I do notice quickly are percentages and odds. It's a gamer thing. And it's the kind of thing that's gotten me into shouting contests with friends over the reason you should do X instead of Y because your chances getting favorable results are simply better this way.

Probability and statistics is a whole other branch. I find it fascinating, can do it, but never had the knack for remembering what are the odds for what.

I have never played blackjack, but I do have a good feel for it without actually counting. I have what I call back of envelope accounting skills, I always know about what things add up to without doing it.

My grand-dad had a finance company. He had rows of girls (they were all girls in those days) running adding machines...the kind where you pull the lever?

Two girls would run a tape and it had to agree. If it didn't he could look at a tape as fas as he could run his fingers down it, spot the error and know which girl keyed wrong.

He supposedly could add columns of four digit numbers faster than it could be keyed in. I never got good like that because since 7th grade I was always in classes where a calculator was required for advanced functions.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I'm better with dice than cards, but I'm convinced that keeping track of probabilities with cards is a little like (and I forget who said this) but kind of an art like cooking. There is science that goes into cooking but at the end of the day it's still art and all the math in the verse wont' get you past mediocre if you don't have an eye for the art. Baking on the other hand is science to the core. I can tell you why you'd prefer 2d6 to 1d12 or tell you how likely you are to get past Boardwalk. I have just enough of a handle on cards to get pissed when so and so doesn't hit when x amount of face cards are showing but little enough that sometimes I make moves that aren't 100% sound.

Well you're no fun.

Unless it's a comparison of possible linear and circumferential combinations. You can do that math effortlessly in your head.

Are you calling me a slut?

*hopes AJ doesn't call me out for giggling*

i practice numbers daily.

for years, nightmares of failing math classes.

basic repetition in my head, to stay on top of the middle area where i naturally land.

I got a nice note about my thread. She referred to me as a "gooberhead" I told her that she was using the layman's term for "mathematically sexy."

That reminds me. Numbers are great for "nerd game."

I collect unusual serial numbers on usually one or better still two dollar bills. It is a find slightly distracting topic for me with people that handle money. It is a fun way of extending the conversation in a way that doesn't seem to be hitting on them.

I can glance at my change and in a blink have something to say about one of the bills usually. There are no eight digit numbers that a portion of the number cannot be made to sound mildly interesting. If for no other reason, "Oh, if that had been a 6 instead of a 3, and a 4 instead of an 9, what an interesting number that would be!!"

Yes. This is poor game for the uber macho, but I am specifically filtering for "chicks" that find nerds sexy. One has to filter a LOT of "chicks" to find that.

Works best if you salt your wallet with poker bills which I do anyway because I always spend my money in the reverse order of approximate frequency of occurrence.

I do not collect 20s so the other day I had to spend a Jackson with FIVE 5s on it. If it had been five fives on a five, naturally I would have gone with less gas.

0-12, 21,30,42 then 0-10 or either way. 3 parts, infinite, and never ending.

..but what your asking is for me to label the pattern in pi which is irrational, and therefore cannot be labeled. It's not a repeating pattern, it's a reducing pattern of random variables that are not really random, since there is no such thing as truly random. You have to think irrationally and limited, backasswards.

Time is the easiest thing to use, or post#: What does it add up to and what does the message represent compared to that number.

 

[PayDay]

the previous post was totally random. Like this one.

y8:

Why do all of the prices end in 9?
9=defense

Why do they call it a 69 position?
6=peace
6 9= peace balance
6+9=15=1+5=6=peace

96>69
6>6

get it?
