Pierre & friends:
100000/31831 is off by 1.1e-6. 355/113 is off by only 0.3e-6.
Thanks. Does the value 355/113 (of Chinese) or for that matter ANY value
*define either Pi or Radian* to qualify the statement: A circle has 2 Pi
radians?
When a comparision is made - like is OFF, the 'standard chosen must be
known', remain my argument or line of thought. If nothing more, my value for
Pi =100000/31831 (exact) can be added among other values as *YET ANOTHER
VALUE THAT FITS ALL CALCULATIONS*.
Does the staemenmt: 'common fractions fail for some numbers' NOT mislead?
Tomorrow is World Standards Day (October 14) and I wish all ' the very best
of standards'.
