pi

\nIt’s three point one four one five nine two six
\nFive three five eight nine se’en nine three two four
\nI know some really boring party tricks
\nAnd once I learned to quote a whole lot more<\/p>\n
A transcendental number by the way
\nIrrational, it can’t be written down
\nThe centre of a mathematician’s play
\nBut pretty sure to make all others frown<\/p>\n
It took at least two thousand years to show
\nThere is no way a circle can be squared
\nAnd that’s about the most that people know
\nI’d tell you more but think you should be spared<\/p>\n
I am a geek and so in love with pi
\nNext time I write I’ll tell you all of “i”<\/p>\n
Author notes
\n(i is the square root of minus one)<\/p>\n
e pi and i are beautifully joined in Euler’s identity e to the power of pi
\ntimes i plus one is zero.<\/p>\n
