Comment on PI is what
F4lcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months agoI don’t think you understand what infinitesimally means! It means the opposite- you want to use ‘infinitely’ there.
Now, not being a condescending asshole, I really take issue with you calling an approximation a ‘lie’. And honestly, who’s multiplying decimal points mentally? That’s difficult. Use a calculator. Want to avoid calculators for an exam? Simplify! That’s why they use 5 and not 3.14.

That’s a bullshit excuse. 3 could be argued but 5 is straight disinformation. And I do multiplication of decimals in my head because I was taught how to in school, that’s how far behind the US system is.

That’s impressive. Mental math isn’t one of my talents to be honest. And let’s agree to disagree about the disinformation.

It’s a skill like any other, you have to be taught it to learn it.

Lots of skills in the world, some more useful than others.
