Algunes perles geomètriques de pi no tan conegudes – Centre Cívic Guinardó

Friday March 14 at 19:00

This talk-workshop is focused on explaining little known details about the pine and easy to understand number. Among others, we will take a look at how the famous German mathematician Gauss found a careful way of approaching Pi, counting points in a grid, a very simple elementary method of implementing and understanding, but very original. We will also see other ingenious and simple ways to accurately calculate the Pi number. These two methods are geometric and require only one point count. Finally, since the talk has been focused on geometric methods, we continue in the field of geometry and move on to another activity that consists of knowing what role the Pi number plays to calculate areas in the sphere, which, in the context of this workshop, will be balloons. So we come to a practical look at non -Euclidean geometries and what important role does the Pi number play.
