PYTHAGOREAN CONSTANTS

 


PYTHAGOREAN CONSTANT:


The square root of 2, often known as root 2, radical 2, or Pythagoras' constant, and written as √2, is the positive algebraic number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number 2. It is more precisely called the principal square root of 2, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property.


ARCHIMEDES'S CONSTANT:




The constant π (pi) has a natural definition in Euclidean geometry as the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle. It may be found in many other places in mathematics: for example, the Gaussian integral, the complex roots of unity, and Cauchy distributions in probability.

INVENTION OF ZERO

 INVENTION OF ZERO The concept of zero has not always been around, however, the introduction of zero bought a lot of changes not only in math but also in the general life of people. Zero has so many different names, for example, ‘null’, ‘nil’, ‘0’ as a digit, ‘sunya’ in Sanskrit, and so on. It is fascinating how the origin of zero bought changed and now it is used as a prime digit in mathematics. Before learning about the modern zero, let’s learn about the origin of zero in India,   Origin of Zero in India The origin of zero in India came from a well-known astronomer and mathematician of his time, Aryabhatta. The well-known scientist used zero as a placeholder number. In the 5th century, Aryabhatta introduced zero in the decimal  number system  and hence, introduced it in mathematics. After Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta described rules for zero in the 7th century. The most evident proof of the origin of zero in mathematics is mentioned in the oldest manuscript of India kno...

RAMANUJAN'S INFINITE SEQUENCE OF SQUARE ROOT (NESTED RADICAL).

         INFINITE SEQUENCE OF SQUARE ROOT        INFINITE SEQUENCE :                   An infinite sequence is a list or string of discrete objects, usually numbers, that can be paired off one-to-one with the set of positive integer s {1, 2, 3, ...}. Examples of infinite sequences are  N  = (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and  S  = (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ..., 1/2  n  , ...).  INFINITE SEQUENCE OF SQUARE ROOT: Consider,                  y = x + n                (x +n)² = n² + x(x+2n)               (x + n) = √[ n² +x(x+2n)]               (x + 2n) = √[ n² +x(x+2n)(x+3n)]               ( x + 3n) = √[ n² +x(x+2n)(x+3n)(x+4n)]               ...       ...
