Jhon:
You CANNOT arbitrarily declare the value of pi to be 100000/31831 no matter
how convenient >you might think it would be. The mathematics just doesn't
work like that.
While I do not intend to discuss Pi beyond reason, the factual mathematics
can be left to mathematicians. My working is based on SIMPLE argument: *What
is the value for Pi or that of Radian that make the circle of 2 Pi Radians?*
Long ago India used the value 'sqrt 10'; and Chinese used '355/113' for Pi
value. Today's science uses the value for Radian at: 57*17'44".88 - the
value that MY VALUE for Pi define EXACTLY.
See my working on several values:

It was the Bible that suggest that pi is 3. The Indiana Assembly passed a
bill which gave the value as 3.2. Another part of the bill gave the value
as 4!

Yes, I heard something about that. Wasn't pi defined to be 3? However
our erstwhile correspondent lives in New Jersey so he can't use that
excuse.

You CANNOT arbitrarily declare the value of pi to be 100000/31831 no
matter how convenient you might think it would be. The mathematics just
doesn't work like that. It is like saying the square root of 2 is
exactly 1.4.
On the same line, a radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a
circle by an arc equal to the radius. You can't redefine that to suit
your purposes either, any more than you can arbitrarily say that a right
angle is a fifth of a full circle.
There is no controversy to discuss.

I can't quite work this out. If we take the Earth radius as 6371 km,

This small difference is due to the Pi value you use from computer; and
I use MY rationalised value for Pi of ratio: 100000/31831 that FIXES
'Radian at 57*.2958 =57*17'44".88.
Thus, Earth circumference is 2*Pi*radius =2x100000/31831x6371
=40030.1592786906 (to 10th decimal) Km. I choose THIS value for Pi
since NO OTHER value for Pi defines *either Pi or Radian - eaxactly*.
This is a deviation of 0.01431335051535 (or 14.3133505 cm).
I have discussed Pi controversy at length, and my views are stored in
the archieves. The point is its TRUNCATION that evaluate ANY two values
differently.
