Just sounds like you’ve confused yourself. It’s like spinning in circles and acting like no one else knows which way is up.

That isn’t a different pi. That’s a different ratio. Your hint is that there are ways to calculate pi besides the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. This constant folks have named pi shows up in situations besides Euclidean space.




Good job, you completely missed the point where I explain that pi, the constant, is a constant. And that "pi, if considered a ratio" (you know, that thing we did to originally discover pi) is not the same as "pi, the constant".

Language skills matter in Math just as much as they do in regular discourse. Arguably moreso: how you define something determines what you can then do with it, and that applies to everything from whether "parallel lines can cross" (what?) to whether divergent series can be mapped to a single number (what??) to what value the circle circumference ratio is and whether you can call that pi (you can) and whether that makes sense (less so, but still yes in some cases).


I haven’t missed your point. I’ve criticized it.

You’re treating your non-consensus definition not as a hypothetical, but as a fact. Your comment started with “fun fact”.


FWIW I enjoyed your original comment :)
