The World of Pi - Home
Today is the internation day of Pi (3/14) where we promote and celebrate the spirit of number Pi ! Make pies, have parties (despite the dark news), take pictures and send them to me so that I can put them on my famous page about the Pi-Day !
Hello everyone ! Finally, this French website has been translated into English !! Yeahhh ! Many many thanks to Florian Bouyer (first prize), David Jelgersma, Guillaume (Bobest3g), Thomas Robitaille and myself ;-). Since some (all) of these translators were not English-native speakers, I have to ask you to be VERY tolerant regarding the quality of English. If you have time and if you like these pages, any help to correct the English would be very much appreciated, please contact me. Also, be aware that 50% of the content of pi314.net is more than 10-years old, at a time when the web was still mostly in version 1.0 and when Google had just achieved its first round of equity funding. Thus, this website has to do neither with advanced interfaces nor with blogging, twittering, facebook, Wikipedia or others social modern ideas. Pi314.net is just a personalized collection of 170 pages about the most wonderful number in the universe (to me... no, it really is): Pi . In other words, let's forget about the soulless Pi's page of Wikipedia !! :-) (ok, all right, I like it all the same but it's depressive, isn't it ?) In this website, you will find here and there some numbers like Axxxxxx which refer to the great website of Neil Sloane : Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. For instance, you can find Pi's digits here A000796. Finally, Pi Lovers are encouraged to write and propose new pages on Pi ! Most recent ones by myself have been written using a LaTeX template ( LaTeX template, LyX 1.3 template, about LyX) then converted by Tex4ht from LaTeX to HTML. Thus, in a nutshell, you can send me a LaTeX file with something nice or fun about Pi and roughly following the above template and I will include it in the website (with your name of course) after having converted it. See for instance a page from a great guy with lots of good ideas.
