While the value of Pi; has been computed to more than a trillion (10^12) digits, elementary applications, such as calculating the circumference of a circle, will rarely require more than a dozen decimal places. For example, a value truncated to 11 decimal places is accurate enough to calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the earth [i][b](Petskull: !!!)[/b][/i] with a precision of a millimeter, and one truncated to 39 decimal places is sufficient to compute the circumference of any circle that fits in the observable universe to a precision comparable to the size of a hydrogen atom.[/quote] [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/418]Petskull[/url] on 05-26-2009 00:13)[/small] Loading...
