    3:55 This is actually a double joke - the pi symbol here is playing on the Hebrew letter Chet (which looks somewhat similar thereto), which is why there’s a little additional piece beside it (it’s the letter Yod, which, with the letter Chet, spells the word ‘Chai’, meaning ‘life’). So, the joke is that he’s wearing a necklace that essentially reads ‘life of pi(e)’ - or, conversely, ‘pi(e) is life’. Just some ‘food for thought’ (pun intended).

    • @Shaia_TeamLCE
      @Shaia_TeamLCE Місяць тому +1

      The letter isn’t Chai, it’s actually called Chet. The Chet with the Yod is pronounced Chai which does mean life, just a minor correction 😊

    It is true that pi is a transcendental number, and thus irrational.
    But not equal to a/b only implies that something is irrational

    One of the only math jokes I know:
    A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician were observing people getting in and out of a house, first they saw 3 people walk inside the house, but then 4 came out. The biologist said "They must have reproduced", the physicist said "There must be a mistake in my original prediction" and the mathematician said "The house will be empty if someone enters it"
    I don't remember it very well, but it was something like this.

    My two favourite maths jokes:
    1) why do computer scientists get halloween and Christmas confused?
    Because oct 31 = dec 25
    2) three mathematicians walked into a bar. The bartender asked 'will you all be having a beer?'
    The first mathematician said 'i don't know.' The second mathematician said 'i don't know. ' the third mathematician said 'yes.'

    3:51 that is not a Greek Π, even though it resembles it. It is a Hebrew חי. While חי means "life", its numerical value is 18 (the Yud letter י = 10 and the het letter ח = 8). Many Hebrew math games use multiples of 18, for example when giving donations to the synagogue such as " 2 times חי" meaning 18 x 2 = $36, or "10 times חי" for a $360 donation. חי is called "chai", with the "ch" like a Scottish "ch" in "loch"

      No, brother. I get it that you might be in a young class, maybe 7 or 8, and is just learning about this. π is an irrational number. Which means it cannot be represented as a rational number or a fraction. 22/7 is the closest fraction to π. Because, when we represent 22/7 as a decimal, it goes like 3.1428.... and more. But the real value is 3.1415926535... like that. It is infinite and has no end.

    • @maxhagenauer24
      @maxhagenauer24 Місяць тому +1

      ​@sh52100 I don't know why everyone says 22/7 is the closest fraction when there are infinitely many fractions that are closer. Just take a ton of digits out into pi and write that as a fraction. Like the fraction 707963/5000000 is exactly 3.1415926 which is a crazy better approximation.

      @@sh52100 22/7 is definitely better to memorize, but that wasn't my point. You said 22/7 was the BEST approximation when it's not. Maybe you meant best as in the most accurate approximation of that size of a fraction or the best approximation to memorize.
