Geometry Calculus Probability Students
Geometry Students “By inscribing and circumscribing the circle with polygons, we can average the perimeters and approximate π!” Calculus Students π = 4 ∑ⁿ₌₀∞ (-1)ⁿ/(2n + 1) [4/52ⁿ⁺¹ − 1/2392ⁿ⁺¹] “Using this infinite series, we can calculate π to any desired accuracy.” Probability Students “By throwing a bunch of sticks on some parallel lines, we can estimate π with the following formula.” π ≈ 2 × (# of sticks) ÷ (# of sticks on lines)
A three-panel meme compares geometry, calculus, and probability students calculating π. Geometry students use inscribed and circumscribed polygons, calculus students use an infinite series, and probability students throw sticks at parallel lines using a statistical approximation. The joke contrasts increasingly elaborate mathematical methods with the absurdly simple visual experiment of estimating π by chance.
