A Brief History of Pi

Note that there's a huge amount about pi that I didn't cover in this video due to time - I didn't even mention proofs of it being irrational and transcendental, or why we call it pi! I chose to focus on the development of its approximation as a hook to teach the broader history of mathematics, rather than make this video an exhaustive list of facts. The wiki is a great place to learn more about the rest of the number's history and applications in maths and physics: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#History
A few nitpicky things:
- I made mistakes distinguishing between 'digits of pi calculated' and 'decimal points of pi calculated' in some sections, so it is possible that this error is elsewhere without me knowing.
- Archimedes didn't do his approximation with squares, he started with hexagons and then increased the order of the polygon. I chose to present the zeroth order version of his algorithm using squares for simplicity, but note that this is not what he did.
- Something which got lost from the final version of this video is my argument that during the Age of Enlightenment pi shifted from being a physical (measured) constant to a purely logical (theoretical) one. This then embodies the philosophical shift in society at the time. This is hinted at but not fully explained, so I thought I'd put this here.
- Lastly, I am truly sorry for the pronunciations which I doubtlessly completely murdered in this video. At least I spared you my attempt at Chinese.
I am hugely indebted to Alex Bellos and his excellent book Alex's Adventures in Numberland for the inspiration to make this video. There is an entire chapter of the book devoted to a broader but shallower discussion of pi and its history, which I highly recommend.

    One thing I learned from this video is that Simon finds it easier to pronounce long Indian names than short Chinese or French names. Now, you can diagram those names as n-sided polygons where n is the number of syllables in each name, and fit the polygons inside each other such that the polygons with lower values of n are contained within the polygons with higher values of n. Then, by subtracting the highest value of n from the lowest value of n and dividing that by the number of polygons, you can determine that there is an infinite series in which the ease of pronouncing a name progressively increases in proportion to the number of syllables in the name. So a name containing zero syllables would be impossible to pronounce, whereas a name with infinite syllables is absolutely pronounceable. At least in Simon's case.

    Some minor updates and trivia some people might find interesting: - While due to the shear size the exact number of digits can vary a smidge, to calculate the circumference of the known universe with the accuracy of a planck length, you only need to know about 65 digits of pi; give or take. - Recently at the time of this post, Google succeeded at breaking the 100 trillionth digit point. - About 3 decades ago, a hexadecimal based formula to calculate every 4th digit of pi was found by three mathematicians, and was named after them: the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula. This formula has been one of the methods used to verify any new calculation. - _Just_ *_last year,_* Plouffe - one of the 3 mathematicians that found the previous formula - found and published a paper on a decimal based formula. This means that we can now calculate any decimal point we wish. With this method it's simply a case of creating an infinite for loop until it runs out of space to fit more digits.

That will help increase the awareness of importance of math and science. Youth will know why we need to trust science. A common sense can be created that way. That will affect how we see life and even our political choices.

At 9:05, you said that "If those contributions keep getting smaller as you go on, then the series converges to a particular value." Though this is often true, there are infinite examples (such as the harmonic series, Σ1/n) where a series consisting of strictly decreasing values diverges.

I was pretty happy to just accept it and do the work, but I certainly would have found it more interesting (and I think would have motivated a bunch of other ppl), to know the context and significance.

    Ironically, π does appear to be slightly arbitrary. While it is cool that it is a natural property of mathematics, and not arbitrarily defined, however, why π and not tau, which is 2π? Why base-10 π? Why not binary π or hexadecimal π or base-12 π? About the same value obviously, but not at all written with the same digits. Infinite series seem to be very important, because transcendental numbers can not be calculated by normal algebraic expression. Many functions can not be calculated by simple algebraic expressions, but rather take some sort of infinite series approach, in which you start with a "guess" answer and then calculate and recalculate, and the result slowly converges towards the correct answer. The process is stopped when it reaches sufficient accuracy. We want to minimize such calculations, in algorithms that need to be fast, such as in drawing 3-D computer graphics. I think that the trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, tangent are of this nature - painfully slow to calculate. Thus, I was curious how 3-D graphics work, and I wanted to find a way to rotate my points while minimizing my use of trigonometric functions. Thus, taking the arc-tangent of a point's position, calculating its distance from the center of rotation, and adding my rotation angle to it, then recalculating the position of the point, is a serious no-no, because it is not computationally efficient. If I could work it out as a simple algebraic expression in terms of multiplication and addition, that would be much more computational efficient, because computers can do those calculations very fast. I worked it out by thinking about it geometrically, and found out how to do it, the only trigonometric functions I had to use was to calculate the sine and cosine of the desired angle of rotation, only once per rotation. Not on a per-point basis. To test my solution, I plotted a set of random points onto the screen. I then rotated them little by little in 2-D, without bothering to erase them, and sure enough, the points smeared into concentric circles going around the center of the screen. Cool. It works! I later found that I had geometrically re-discovered a angle A + B identity while in high school, that was already well known and indicated in a (later) college level mathematics textbook of mine. I never had the time to expand and try my own hand at 3-D graphics. I seriously think that the old 2-D computers could have drawn 3-D graphics games, provided that they did not attempt too much complexity that would bog down their old slow CPUs. We could have walked through 3-D mazes of hallways and rooms and such. As there were no graphics processing units back then on typical home computers, the number of vectors and shape fills of the regions, or polygons drawn, would have to be limited. No complicated textures on surfaces, like we see now. No complicated "in the distance" fogging effects. The floor and walls could be of different colors, but making the walls of complicated surfaces such as individual bricks, likely would not have been possible with those old slow computers. Way too many polygons to calculate for them. Well unless a frame rate of several seconds per drawing of each frame, was acceptable? I think that the old computers of the 1980s, could have achieved maybe a frame or 2 per second in 3-D, had the 3-D graphics subroutines been properly written for them. But back then, they were struggling just to make memory cheap enough to do decent 2-D graphics. Now why do 3-D graphics need to be rotated? Well because if they are not, then we have x and y coordinates, and the z direction is perpendicular to the screen, thus it disappears. Because the screen is actually 2-D, we have to rotate everything into view to make it seem to be 3-D. Well unless _Zaxxon_ video game fake 3-D is what you want, which is really more like 2-D? 2-D graphics were getting sort of boring, and in 2-D most everything on the screen is very little, or else your room size itself is very limited. In 3-D, distant objects appear very small, but become much bigger and more detailed when they are approached. Much like real life, and it makes video games seem a lot more interesting and detailed. Even a 3-D mathematics graph of an equation needs to be rotated, to get a good perspective onto it. Too many regions would be hidden from the wrong viewing angle. And I hardly have any idea how to remove "hidden" portions that are blocked by a surface in front of them, from the graph. Would you draw the farther away portions first, and then let the graph overwrite and erase whatever might be behind it, as it then draws the closer regions? BTW, modern 3-D graphics I think are calculated using quaternions. Even more complex than complex numbers, as there are 3 imaginary number components rather than just 1. Still just 1 real number portion. It is more computational efficient and avoids gimble lock, whatever that is? Something I will want to study more into.

    My favorite sequence is the Fibonacci sequence, where the next number is found by adding the two previous numbers, so 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21... It's found in a lot of places in nature, but it's also a "quick and dirty" way of converting between miles and kilometers. If you're in miles, the next number up is kilometers (so 2 miles is 3 kilometers, 13 miles is 21 kilometers, etc.). You go to the next smaller number in the sequence to go from kilometers to miles.

    @@almostfm The first 3 Fibonacci numbers > 1 are the first 3 primes as well. I think that fractals are so beautiful. A YT video calculated the fractional dimension of the Sierpinski triangles at 1.58. Did you know that 2 and 5 might not be quite as prime as we were led to believe? They have factors in the complex numbers. How weird is that? Did they forget to look in the complex numbers? (1 + *_i_* )(1 - *_i_* ) = 2 (2 + *_i_* )(2 - *_i_* ) = 5 And these factors would seem to the the complex version of integers.

    Good video Simon. Brings back memories for me. For me, it was the benchmark in mathematics and computer programming. 37 years ago, I programmed a mainframe computer to calculate Pi to 1,000 decimal places - my formula was 4(arctan(1/2) + arctan(1/3)) which converges at a rate of two decimal places per iteration. In those days, it took a whole weekend of the core CPU time. These days, this can be done in a matter of minutes on a laptop.

    A great video, especially since you pronounced Ramanujan's name correctly ;) One mathematical advance that still needs to be done, however, is to lose our clumsy decimal system and switch to duodecimal or "dozenal" counting by twelves instead of tens, mainly because of its factorability. Ten is only evenly divisible by 2 and 5, whereas twelve has even factors of 2, 3, 4, 6 and almost by 8 and 9. We got stuck with tens because we have ten fingers, but if we used the three segments on each of out four fingers we can easily count to twelve (or 24) that way. The symbols for base twelve are the usual 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 plus X and E for ten and eleven, so 10 in dozenal represents twelve, 20 is twenty-four, 100 is 144 and so on. The names proposed for X, E and 10 are currently dek, el and do (rhymes with so). Twelve is why we have twelve months of three seasons each in our calendars and 24 hours in a day, but finer divisions don't fit once weeks, hours, minutes and seconds are randomly crammed in to make decimalizing time a real pain to calculate. This could have been implemented during the French Revolution of 1789 but the chances of it happening now are practically zero, less even than if the United States finally decided to adopt the full metric system.

I understand the concept of Pi, but I will never need to know the value to any more than 5 numbers - and that's simply because I can be a smart-arse!

His series are now the basis for the fastest algorithms currently used to calculate π. See also Ramanujan-Sato series.

    Simon clark. The idea of algebra and linear equation as well as quadratic was very much common in ancient india... the arabic mathematician came india and he translated the algebra and trigonometry in arabic. And after that it travelled to europe. In india it was known as jayamiti and it getting translated and got its name in english as Geometry. Trikonamiti as trigonometry which was developed in india independently long before pythagoras and greek mathematicians. Algebra had name beejganit which is now algebra! Literal meaning is mathematics of numbers.. i hope u understand it now... in 11th century AD. Two indian mathematician developed limit as a sum technique in a diffrent way. It clearly shows that indian mathematics had an approach and understanding of infinity. But later on newton and lebnitz developed diffrential calculus. Which he patented. Ancient Indian mathematician never believed for the patent mechanism! Because here it was developed just to understand the world for better. 0 was discovered in India. I hope u get everything well! And still if u want reference of everything.. i can surely provide every reference to you!

    To say Algebra was invented in India would be wrong. Indian mathematicians contributed to the “invention” or “discovery” of Algebra as did other mathematicians from other civilizations from the period of antiquity. Knowledge always flows and a lot of that knowledge eventually ended up on the desks of Arab and Persian mathematicians. These Arabs and Persians, given their geographical location, were able to advance work done on countless sciences and topics and had access to a treasure trove of knowledge from both the West and the East - from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the knowledge enmassed by the people of India. There is still an ongoing debate as to who holds the title of “Father of Algebra”. On the one hand we have the Greek mathematician Diophantus who has traditionally been known as the "father of algebra" and on the other hand we have the Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi. India is not considered the birthplace of Algebra though the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta did advance many of the concepts needed for its eventual discovery by al-Khwarizmi. Also Brahmagupta lived after Diophantus so if one was to consider Diophantus as the father of Algebra then once again we cannot state that Algebra was invented in India.

    Interesting and deep explanation. Thanks a million. Then maybe you will understand. Please consider it. We have some tricky formulas to use to calculate the value of Pi. In my opinion, the value of Pi can be calculated in a much easier way. We have the formula Pi = Phi^2 + RC . Phi is the golden number, RC (royal egyptian cubit) is Pi/6 so we have Pi = Phi^2 + Pi/6 and hence Pi - Pi/6 = Phi^2 and then 5*Pi = 6*(Phi^2) so Pi = 6*( Phi^2)/5 We know that we can get a good approximation of Phi by dividing the largest possible values ​​of the Fibonacci series. The values ​​of the sequence can be calculated using the formula: f(n)=f(n-2)+f(n-1) so let's take this notation let's substitute it to calculate Phi, so Phi = f(n) / f(n-1 ). I substitute these values ​​into the formula and we have Pi = 6 * ( f(n) / f(n-1) )^2) / 5 So this is another and rather new formula for calculating the value of Pi. Do you understand? There was no such formula before to calculate the value of Pi. Maybe you should nominate me for the Abel Prize? 😁 Maybe aliens will come to shake my hand after all... 😜

Based on this code there are many slokas in mathematics., e.g., the following is a sloka for Pi value: गोपीभाग्- य मधुव्रातः श्रुंगशोदध- ि संधिगः | खलजीवितखा- ाव गलहाला रसंधरः || gopeebhaagya maDhuvraathaH shruMgashodhaDhi saMDhigaH khalajeevithakhaathaa- va galahaalaa rasaMDharaH ga-3, pa-1, bha-4, ya -1, ma-5, Dhu-9, ra-2, tha-6, shru-5, ga-3, sho-5, dha-8, Dhi -9, sa-7, Dha- 9, ga-3, kha-2, la-3, jee-8, vi-4, tha-6, kha-2, tha-6, va-4, ga-3, la-3, ha-8, la-3, ra-2, sa-7, Dha-9, ra-2 3.141592653589793238462643- 3832792… The above sloka has actually 3 meanings 1. In favor of Lord Shiva 2. In favor of Lord Krishna 3. The value of Pi up to 32 decimals. There were many inventions in the field of science and technology in ancient India, we just have to sift through the sands of time to find them.

    1) Algebra did not come directly from an Indian mathematician. It came from Persia. 2) Fibonacci series came from Fibonacci of Venice himself. 3) Infinity was an already understood concept (literally, the video says the Archemides used the method of exhaustion. Of course he understood that he could theoretically go on drawing polygons, untill the number of sides reached infinity ) Although, no mathematician used it formally. Untill modern Europe did. 4) Even by 1300, the Invaders had only established the Delhi Sultanate. South India and most of India was still free. Enjoy the maths.

Thus all the mathematical works were destroyed or we can say that the kings were in constant fight with these powers.

    Interesting how that same logic of infinity was applied thousands of years later by Newton when he invented calculus. Just really does emphasise the universality of maths.

    Great Video. Thanks! I think you got the picture of Madhava wrong at 9:43. The picture in the video is that of the philosopher - Madhwacharya and not the mathematician - Madhava

    Here is another fact. There is no such thing as a perfect circle in nature. Basically, circles as we describe in Math, do not exist in nature. It's an entirely human made concept, and has allowed us to advance so much as well, both Mathematically, and technologically.
