Subject: virus: Question about Pi and whatnot
The idea of a mneumonic for Pi is being put forth as a desirable
feature in a newly created language that will be designed to
incorporate mathematics more easily than existing (spoken?)
languages? The Vedic prayer is offered as an example of such a
mneumonic, whether or not it was deliberate?
I don't see the value of memorizing large numbers. When was the
last time you had to recall Pi to 32 places from memory?
