Pi Is a Rational Natural Number


Book Description

Pi is traditionally associated with being an irrational transcendental number, a fundamental constant that appears intrinsic in many mathematical and scientific formulations. However, our current real-world views of our universe and existence are blindly stumbling into many unexplained phenomena, such as all the missing Dark Energy and Dark Matter driving and maintaining the very existence of our observable cosmos. Complex numbers are seen as abstract mathematical appendages, with the imaginary component treated as unnatural properties like negative virtual objects. A new revolution in mathematics and science is uncovering the natural facts of complex fields, and re-interpreting the true existence of our cosmos, and in the process re-defining a more fundamental meaning of Pi.The code of life itself is embedded into the helical strands of DNA consisting of four genetic bases (C, G, A, T). Our cosmos may indeed be the ultimate organism, and within the helical strands of Pi are embedded the four fundamental natural numbers (N+, Ni, N-, N-i) from which all creations are coded into existence. Orthogonal super-symmetric systems existing in complex fields provide qualitative and quantitative answers that unveils the full beautiful color spectrum of nature. With both proverbial scientific eyes opened to these new discoveries, the unraveling of the infinite random string of Pi shows at the very heart a most simple rational natural number that reflects the true duality of existence.

Prealgebra


Book Description

"Prealgebra is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Prealgebra follows a nontraditional approach in its presentation of content. The beginning, in particular, is presented as a sequence of small steps so that students gain confidence in their ability to succeed in the course. The order of topics was carefully planned to emphasize the logical progression throughout the course and to facilitate a thorough understanding of each concept. As new ideas are presented, they are explicitly related to previous topics."--BC Campus website.




Lectures on the Philosophy of Mathematics


Book Description

An introduction to the philosophy of mathematics grounded in mathematics and motivated by mathematical inquiry and practice. In this book, Joel David Hamkins offers an introduction to the philosophy of mathematics that is grounded in mathematics and motivated by mathematical inquiry and practice. He treats philosophical issues as they arise organically in mathematics, discussing such topics as platonism, realism, logicism, structuralism, formalism, infinity, and intuitionism in mathematical contexts. He organizes the book by mathematical themes--numbers, rigor, geometry, proof, computability, incompleteness, and set theory--that give rise again and again to philosophical considerations.




Pi (π) in Nature, Art, and Culture


Book Description

In Pi (π) in Nature, Art, and Culture Marcel Danesi investigates the manifestations of π in science, nature, symbolism, and culture, arguing that these are intrinsically intertwined.




Who Am I? Pi-E


Book Description

Learning about Mathematics more particularly about Pi () had never been this animated and fun. This book teaches children all about Pi () and how mathematical constant relates to the circles, spheres, and ellipses, and can be found in everyday life around the house like a fishbowl, bike wheel, or basketball.




Wonders of Numbers


Book Description

Who were the five strangest mathematicians in history? What are the ten most interesting numbers? Jam-packed with thought-provoking mathematical mysteries, puzzles, and games, Wonders of Numbers will enchant even the most left-brained of readers. Hosted by the quirky Dr. Googol--who resides on a remote island and occasionally collaborates with Clifford Pickover--Wonders of Numbers focuses on creativity and the delight of discovery. Here is a potpourri of common and unusual number theory problems of varying difficulty--each presented in brief chapters that convey to readers the essence of the problem rather than its extraneous history. Peppered throughout with illustrations that clarify the problems, Wonders of Numbers also includes fascinating "math gossip." How would we use numbers to communicate with aliens? Check out Chapter 30. Did you know that there is a Numerical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? You'll find it in Chapter 45. From the beautiful formula of India's most famous mathematician to the Leviathan number so big it makes a trillion look small, Dr. Googol's witty and straightforward approach to numbers will entice students, educators, and scientists alike to pick up a pencil and work a problem.




Contact


Book Description

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and astronomer Carl Sagan imagines the greatest adventure of all—the discovery of an advanced civilization in the depths of space. In December of 1999, a multinational team journeys out to the stars, to the most awesome encounter in human history. Who—or what—is out there? In Cosmos, Carl Sagan explained the universe. In Contact, he predicts its future—and our own.




Rationality and Reality


Book Description

Alan Musgrave has consistently defended two positions that he regards as commonsensical: critical realism and critical rationalism. In this volume a group of internationally-renowned authors discuss themes that are relevant in one way or another to Musgrave’s work. Rather than a standard celebratory festschrift, this book offers a new examination of topics of current interest in philosophy. The contributory essays are followed by responses from Alan Musgrave himself.




The Square Root of 2


Book Description

An elegantly dramatized and illustrated dialog on the square root of two and the whole concept of irrational numbers.
