Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
The number before the decimal is not 0. .99999999... is just another way of writing 1.

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
That is not really true. Again, it is a 1.

It can be either 0 or 1, based on the way it is written.

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
That 0 has no real significance. Would you write 00023 for 23?

The Base Number Can Only be 0 for Infinite/Recurring 0.999... Because if the Base Number was 1 ? it would No longer be Continuous!!

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
But, how does continuity apply here?

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
Hi;
I know that.
.99999.... is not a function. It is a number. Continuous refers to functions.

Hmmmm. That post is pretty endless. But .99999999... still equals 1

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
1-0.999... = (0.9... = 0.1...) Further on...(0.99... = 0.01...) Further on...(0.999...= 0.001...) Conclusion there will Always be a Difference!!

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
It is already there. That is what the notation implies.
Please keep on topic. This is a thread on lists of digits of pi, not on .99999999....

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
How Can it Already be there?? if there is a Endless Difference of 0.1 From the Start Onwards!
Notation may Imply it! But that Contradicts that Notation Implies No End to the Universe!
Pi Never Get's there & Neither does Infinite/Recurring 0.9

That is your opinion of course. It is not backed up by mathematicians or by any solid evidence.

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
This thread is about pi. Can you restrict the posts to that?
I do not wish that every thread becomes yet another argument about .999999...

Re: Pi to a Million Decimal Places!
Hi GeniusIsBack;
No known pattern in pi. That does not prove there is not one. Unfortunately, people do follow patterns.
Part of managing the community means dealing with members who evade bans or obscure their identity through the malicious use of proxies.
A member who continues to use one in an attempt to hide the fact that he has been barred 20 times for math, rude behavior, anti semitic comments, sexual slurs and lewd posts to 13 year olds will be barred again.
I hope you understand me.
