    Experimental Derivations of Pi in Physics

    Greetings I'm currently designing a lab-script intended for comprehension and use at an undergraduate level. I was extremely frustrated during my undergrad to be dealing with a plethora of uninspired and dull experiments so I decided to take a slightly unconventional (or extremely conventional...

    MHB Do Pi and Geometric Shapes Coexist?

    (1) Is there a pi in ellipse entity?Why not or yes? (2) Is there a pi in polygons entities (e.g square)? not or yes? (3) If there is pi in some geometries and other not - What is the reason to that? (4) How cloud I know that are no hidden formula of pi in a square figure that the expression in...

    MHB What are some interesting approximations of pi?

    we know a couple of approximate values of $\pi$ mostly $\frac{22}{7}$ and $\frac{355}{133}$ but one I found (from the net )interesting was sum of 2 surds $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}$.if anyone is aware of other of interesting observation kindly let me know.

    Randomness of quantum mechanics and Pi

    Just a thought I had one day, but the general idea I've heard is that quantum mechanics has a random property to it. The number Pi is apparently a number without any sort of apparent pattern to it either, seemingly random? Could these two things somehow be related? For example somehow...

    How can I get my Pi 3 to work in a vacuum?

    Im trying to do some data logging, using a raspberry pi 3 would be super easy as it has a built in WiFi and Bluetooth receiver as well as an SD card. However when the vacuum gets to about -30inHg the Pi shuts off and the red light starts flashing as if there is no OS. Temperatures arent crazy...

    Difference between h-parameters and hybrid pi?

    Hey guys, I'm confused as to the difference between the h-parameters usually given by datasheets and their hybrid-pi model analogues. For instance, I know hfe = Beta in small signal analysis, but what about the other h-parameters. Thanks for any help with clarifying this.
