Our Pi Playlist (more videos): http://bit.ly/PiPlaylist Pi is famously calculated to trillions of digits – but Dr James Grime says 39 is probably enough. More links & stuff in full description below ↓↓↓ An extra note from Dr Grime: “Since pi39 ends in 0, you may think we could use pi38 instead – which has

Can you solve this geometry brain teaser? Note: I was emailed a similar problem but I am unable to locate the original source. It seems to be in the style of Bright Side quizzes, but often those are based on problems circulating. Please let me know if can identify the original source and I will

This curious fact was only published in 2011, which is amazing because geometry has been studied for thousands of years. How could such a simple fact go unnoticed for so long?! What is the area of the two semicircles if the circle has an area equal to 1? Special thanks this month to: Michael Anvari,

Olympiad problems are challenging for most of us. But this one was considered “easy” for the students taking the test! (The oldest students are in high school, but have also been 13 year old students who have taken the test and gotten a gold medal). Thanks to all patrons! Special thanks to: Michael Anvari, Richard
