Easy as a Pi

Now how do these lines make sense to you?

• Now I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics.
• Can I have a large container of coffee?

These are what are known as mnemonics. They help you remember certain numbers and relations. The number of letters in each word of these sentences represents a digit in ...(yes, you guessed right).......Pi.

So, the first sentence gives:
3.14159265358979
which is the value of pi upto 14 digits after decimal.

In fact, I have memorized a mnemonic which gives the value of pi upto 32 digits after decimal. That's the most you're ever going to use - even in rocket science ! The mnemonic you can get at witstuff.blogspot.com, another blog of mine. Have you ever wanted a trick to remember the value of pi? You already had a trick if you have ever wondered: "Can I find a trick recalling pi easily?"
