Note: visitors are encouraged to support Dim Sum Labs's mission to offer a home to the local tech community by making a small donation on the night (~50HKD, cash preferred). Introduction and Welcome. Introduce the concept of Pi Day. Provide a brief overview of the event's agenda and activities. The History of Pi and Buffon's Needles Experiment. Present a historical context of pi, from ancient civilizations to modern times. Discuss the contributions of mathematicians such as Archimedes, Euclid, and Isaac Newton. Introduce the concept of Buffon's needles, a mathematical experiment that estimates the value of pi. Conduct a live demonstration of the experiment, using a large sheet of paper with parallel lines and a set of needles. And more! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: pi.jpg Type: image/jpeg Size: 67795 bytes Desc: not available URL:
