The Secret Code for Circles and Squares, Pi In 1999, a book was auctioned. An anonymous collector, recognizing the value of this prayer book, which seemed fragile at the slightest touch, bought it for approximately 2.2 billion won. It was soon entrusted to Dr. William Noel, a book restorer. He discovered that another book was hidden within the prayer book. However, it would be several years before he discovered this secret book. Using special equipment, he shined light on the parchment, revealing hidden writing. Dr. William Noel sensed that what he was seeing was more profound than he had anticipated. Hidden within the prayer book was another book: Archimedes' treatise. From ancient Egyptians to Greeks to Chinese mathematicians, and even Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance, efforts to solve the problem of circles and squares continued in different eras and spaces. The secret code for constructing a square with the same area using only a straightedge and compass was pi, the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of a circle. The clue lies in Archimedes's treatise. Using Archimedes' method for estimating the value of pi using polygons, some mathematicians even calculated the value of pi using a 262 (46,116,860,184,273,879,04)-gon. 3.14159265358979... Could mathematicians conquer this mysterious and infinite number? #EBS #EBSKnowledge #DocuPrime #Numbers #Pi #Pi #π #3.14 #Civilization #History #Math #Science #Documentary #LearningDocumentary #Compass #Circle #Diameter #Circumference #Mathematician #Numbers 📺Broadcast Information 📌Program Title: DocuPrime - Numbers Part 1: Pi, the Number of the Sky 📌Broadcast Date: November 2, 2015
