Charlie Eppes - 'Pi'

[TheHotsaucekiller]

i have a theoroy that the needle thing with pi is cause of the sphere shaped distribution of gravity but what do i know im just a 11 year old

[agmarkis]

sounds like how my math teacher would explain math topics...

[behnamasid]

Pi is the criminal.

[Hitzification]

@behnamasid Guess pi really takes the cake.

*shades*

YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

On an unrelated note: Hey, random bag of facts here. Fit this into our script and make the viewer feel informed.

Actually I don't even understand anything about math but this is cool

[wanderoy]

Haha, finally something I actually knew.. We made that experimence with matches instead, and we got like 3,6 or something. My teacher was thrilled :p

[Theatershorty]

yay don! he used math!

hehe <3 charlie

[Msemoteen]

is it weird that i understand his math alot...? he'll just say something then i go yea thats right...

[amy38283]

I know to. I was worst in math and I don't even know anything about Pi. But it's amazing.

[Peachy300]

Wow... Charlie's math has left me speechless and confused yet again. Thank you for posting this, though, it's actually really interesting. What episode does it come from?

[ronvins]

i know how you feel Peachy300....i am awful at math and this is leaving me like OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Book1sh]

It's from Season 2, Episode 1: Judgment call

[carlystur]

Beautiful. x)

His discussion on Pi is interesting. I didn't expect that something like this constant would be used for uncertainty.

[Book1sh]

I agree, it's very interesting. I know that the math applied in 'Numb3rs' is real but I have been wondering whether the usage that it is put to regarding the cases is real or rather whether it would work on an actual case. I know that the first episode from Season 1 (the sprinkler analogy) is based on a real case but I don't know whether it would work on every case. I don't know enough about math to be able to fully comprehend this.

@bunbun246 yeah... he mentioned something about buffon's needle, which requires a Monte Carlo method, which is a part of mathematics of uncertainty...
