“It's
both irrational and transcendental.”
After
I read this statement, I thought, “Why, that's a wonderful
thought!”
Then
I thought, “But what does it mean? And is it that wonderful?”
It's
a description of Pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its
diameter.
But
I was interested in the irony of the two words conjoined.
What
if I were irrational and transcendental? That is, what if I were
irrational, but also transcendental?
What
would this mean?
What
would I be?
What
would I do?
Would
I eat more pie?
Anyway,
today is Pi day, and also the birthday of Albert Einstein.
IT'S
ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND Pi!
