okay dr. pepper, which means i have no clue what you’re saying. what’s a transcedental function?
i think i should just retreat quietly. seems like my question is like that a 4 year year old might be asking on the gemara when he only knows the aleph, beis.
when i clicked on, what you said to click on – it came to something about pi, and the number kept getting closer and closer to the numerical value of pi. now my brain has no clue what pi is, but it has been programmed to think at the mention of pi – 3.14, 2pir, and pi r squared and circle. so first question that comes to my brain is what does pencils falling on a table have to do with pi.
i’ve never heard of the formula you mentioned, and only math equation i remember is a squared plus b squared is equal to c squared.
so, i guess my question is not answerable in plain english (without numbers) given the lack of knowledge i have.
unless, your answer is that for some reason that can’t be explained (due to my limited knowledge of math) pi is a number that comes up a lot in mathematical formulas. ?
