what is 1/pi??
pi is a reecurring digit, rite?

what is the basic naame for it thogh? i meen, is it 1 pith? 1 over pi? 1 piessimal?? i am really confused. please help.
thanks in advanse.
There isn't really any way of saying 1/pi, other than 1/pi.
π is transcendental, so no matter what you do to it (other than dividing by π or something) it will always stay transcendental, so there's no simpler way of writing it. I've never heard anyone call it a "pieth" or anything like that, either. I think you'll just have to stick with 'one over pi'.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

I like to pronounce it Γ-²(½).

I put them into my calculator, why don't they equal 1/pi

thats because you have to set it to DRASTIC mode first.

It my be different for your calculator, but when press MODE, and go to the third page, the fifth option is DRASTIC mode, and you can turn it on or off.

mh.
And what does this DRASTIC?

Does it really?
When simplified it looks like this...
How do you check it's equal to 1/pi?

It's too hard to be simplified. But it can be proved:

These formulas are based on modular forms. They are the best known series for computing pi.

If you don't beleive me now, you can visit:

The first formula is namely number 77 and the second is 82.
