7 AnswersOther - Yahoo Mail8 years agopi, transendental numbers, spigot formulae?
I thought that pi, being a transcendental number, meant that it was impossible to know the nth digit of pi without calculating the previous n-1 digits. I thought that was pretty much the definition of a transcendental number (yeah, I know officially it's not the root of an algebraic equation with rational integers).
So now I find out about spigot formulae, and in particular the BBF formula which allows you to calculate the nth number (in hexadecimal, anyway) of pi without knowing any of the previous ones. Which is totally weird to me.
What happened to my confidence that you couldn't know the millionth number of pi without knowing the previous 999,999???
Can someone explain, in layman's terms please?

3 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoDell monitor starts up for 2 seconds, then goes off?
I had a Dell 1704 FPV in storage for awhile. When I plugged it in again, the floating "self-test" display came on for 2 seconds--and went off. (Same if I connected it to computer--on for 2 seconds, then off). Here's the weird thing, I pushed down in the middle of the screen (don't ask why, just a hunch) and it started working perfectly--for an hour. Then back to 2 seconds on, then off, can't repeat the pressure trick. Anyone, anywhere, got any idea at all what's going on? Many thanks, barry
