My father was a mathematician. Instead of nursery rhymes, my brothers and I learned such useful tidbits as:

Secant!
Tangent!
Cosine, sine!
Three point one four one five nine!

I understand that over the years several states have tried to pass laws declaring that pi is 3 because 2 Chronicles 4:2 says "And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about."

'Cuz if it's in the Bible, it must be correct.

I wonder if there is a curved space in which π is indeed 3.2. Smiler

From the article:

quote:
Asked if he wanted to meet Goodwin, the professor later recalled that he "declined the courtesy with thanks, remarking that he was acquainted with as many crazy people as he cared to know."
