As mathematicians you should know that approximations are useless when your calculator provides an exact answer.

Explain yourselves.

Leave it to a physicist to approximate... smh

I guess I'm surprised to see a physicist using more than one digit, 3, for pi.

The average person doesnt need to remember large pi numbers
And with the way a calculator in everyone pocket now, its not needed to remember

My physics classes were torture. The amount of times I heard "it's close enough so we don't care" was almost enough to send me to the loony bin.

Thank god I only needed calc phys 1 and 2

lets say you've been kidnapped by terrorists and they agree to let you go under the condition that you recite pi to 4th digit. You'd be out of luck if you didn't know it. so are you willing to take the chance?

I know it to seven digits, and thats just because thats how our teachers abbreviated it in high school.
Its like remembering a phone number without the area code, so it didnt seem like they were asking that much of us.

My math teacher in middle school had a poster (more like a banner since it stretched around the entire circumference of the room) that had pi to something like 300 digits. Since I was so bored in that class I would just stare at it and read it off in my head over and over again.

Over 24 years later, and I can still rattle off the first 10 digits without even thinking, and I can probably get up to like 30-40 or so if I spend some time on it.

Up to 5 is easy enough, digit 4 and 5 are pretty much 2 and 3.
