Hi all, Our LUGgers have once again made it to the media, thanks to Project Pi by Sayan Chakraborti. The current issue of the Express Computer magazine published by the Indian Express Group carries a story and interview of Sayan.
<extract> What made him take up this project? Says Sayan Chakraborti: "Just like climbing Everest, we calculate pi because it's there." But how is this all relevant to the common man? Says Chakraborti: "It doesn't help reduce the price of bread. But it helps find problems with computer hardware and operating systems, so it might actually help to reduce the price of bread... someday. Somebody once said that 'Physics is like sex; of course it can give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.' Same case here." </extract> "Pi at the centre of an Indian student's curiosity" http://www.express-computer.com/20030707/indcomp3.shtml Way to go Sayan and co... best wishes to you all. cheers, --indra -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
