Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.48,0:01:01.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.21,0:01:05.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not cherry, apple or chicken pot pie\Nbut the number Pi,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.49,0:01:08.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is commonly known as 3.14.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.92,0:01:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, Pi is much more than that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.07,0:01:14.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pi is a transcendental number,\Nwhich means that it is not algebraic,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.61,0:01:16.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never stops and doesn't have a pattern.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.38,0:01:20.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is one of the reasons\Nwhy Pi is so difficult to calculate.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.48,0:01:24.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pi was first discovered\Nin ancient times by the Greeks.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.48,0:01:28.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At that time Pi\Nwas erroneously known as 3.13.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.63,0:01:32.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This improper calculation of Pi\Npersisted for many years,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.49,0:01:35.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until Archimedes,\Na Sicilian mathematician,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.57,0:01:37.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came along and corrected it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.90,0:01:42.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He calculated Pi using polygons inscribed\Nand circumscribed around circles
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.67,0:01:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and calculated Pi\Nto our 3.14 version of Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.49,0:01:50.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, he only calculated Pi\Nwith 3 digits.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.48,0:01:52.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since Archimedes,\Npeople all over the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.58,0:01:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have been obsessed with calculating Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.22,0:01:56.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even Newton and Leibnitz,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.82,0:01:59.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who did a lot of calculus\Nin the late 17th century,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.78,0:02:02.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,devised additional methods\Nof calculating Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.64,0:02:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Despite the fact that there are\Nmany different methods of finding Pi,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.80,0:02:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most of them are incorrect,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.42,0:02:11.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even the most commonly accepted,\Nequating it to 22 over 7.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.19,0:02:15.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These calculations are inaccurate,\Nbecause they're either too high,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.05,0:02:17.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or too low.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.98,0:02:20.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even though most formulas are incorrect,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.25,0:02:23.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some are precise,\Nsuch as Machin's formula.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.94,0:02:27.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As time went by, people began\Nusing computers to calculate Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.78,0:02:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, calculating Pi was used to test\Nproper functioning of early computers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.61,0:02:34.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first recorded\Ncomputer calculation of Pi
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.77,0:02:39.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was done by a man named Ferguson\Non a desk calculator in 1947.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.40,0:02:42.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He calculated Pi to 710 digits.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.77,0:02:47.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because computers made\Ncalculating Pi easier and faster,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.01,0:02:49.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more and more people\Ndevoted themselves to computing Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.38,0:02:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just this year, a computer\Nowned by Shigeru Kondo
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.98,0:02:56.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,calculated Pi to 10 trillion digits.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.76,0:02:59.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's a lot of Pi!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.34,0:03:01.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.74,0:03:03.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He calculated this by using\Na special program.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.49,0:03:06.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Despite the digits' being calculated\Nby a computer,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.81,0:03:10.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the process was quite lengthy\Nand took just over a year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.16,0:03:12.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By now you're probably thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.20,0:03:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I finally can find calculating Pi\Nsomewhat interesting, but is that all?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.26,0:03:19.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course not.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.36,0:03:23.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pi has many uses regarding measuring\Nthe area and circumference of circles
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.95,0:03:25.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and circular-typed objects.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.67,0:03:28.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is also used\Nin probability calculations.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.50,0:03:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we truly consider how Pi is used,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.79,0:03:33.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we realize how important\Nsuch calculations are,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.25,0:03:35.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we're dealing with things\Nsuch as asteroids
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.46,0:03:36.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,traveling through our universe.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.49,0:03:39.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Without knowing an asteroid's size,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.14,0:03:42.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would we be able to defend ourselves\Nif it were coming our way?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.03,0:03:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank goodness we can use Pi\Nto help us determine such an object size
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.02,0:03:49.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and likely trajectory.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.09,0:03:52.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because of Pi's interesting uses,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.24,0:03:55.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm obviously passionate about the number\Nand what we can do with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.15,0:03:58.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because of my personal passion for Pi,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.14,0:04:00.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are two things\NI'm seeking to do regarding Pi:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.52,0:04:05.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first is to continue memorizing Pi\Nin an attempt to break the world record,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.87,0:04:09.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is presently 67,890 digits.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.06,0:04:12.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I may only have 75 digits memorized,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.38,0:04:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but next week I may have 90 digits\Nand the week after that, 116.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.60,0:04:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's only a matter of time\Nand perseverance.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.69,0:04:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second thing\NI'm interesting in doing with Pi
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.94,0:04:24.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is calculating further digits.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.57,0:04:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I plan on doing this\Nby studying how other people
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.00,0:04:29.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have used computers\Nin the past to calculate Pi
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.21,0:04:32.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see if I can devise a faster,\Nmore accurate method.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.61,0:04:35.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Only time will tell if I can\Nfurther develop our knowledge of Pi.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.13,0:04:39.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, Pi is the most interesting\Nnumber ever discovered
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.11,0:04:42.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we have learned so much\Nand we'll continue to learn from it.
