Dear Students,
May God Bless You
You are very fortunate to study for your graduation in one of the top
most best Universities in the world. And at the same time you must be brilliant
too to enter here and study.
With this in my mind, I thought of informing the latest developments on
the value and nature of . Further, I believe, a genius may be there in one of
you who can see my papers, read them, no no study them, understand, think
intuitively taking a challenge that what a Zoology teacher, could do it and why
not I being a mathematician.
1. Are we to believe 3.1415926 borrowed number from the polygon
inscribed / circumscribed in and about circle and attributed to circle
believing the notion limitation principle purely based on logic is final.
2. When we call a number an approximation, that implies an exact value is
there. What ? Let us search ! you have answer in my work.
3. There are many proposals in the mathematics literature for squaring of
circle. If that is so, the mathematicians who have been searching must
have believed that squaring of circle is possible. Circle Squarer must
be then a misnomer.
4. Is C.L.F. Lindemanns 1882, proof based on questionable Eulers
formula ei +1 = 0 right in calling as a transcendental number ? He is
right in calling 3.1415926 and not .
5. If that is so the number must be an algebraic number.
6. If that is so, further, as we are sure 3.1415926 is accepted as
transcendental number then 3.1415926 is not a number at all.
Dear Students, think over
Author
An advise: If you strongly believe that (1) 3.1415926 is the value of . (2) is a
transcendental number and (3) squaring of circle is impossible, you need not look at
this work and waste your precious time.

Sir, Namasthe
In 1972, I wanted to calculate area and circumference of a circle with the line-segment radius
alone, and without pi 22/7. After 26 years of struggle two formulas with radius alone were
found in 1998. These formulas have given (14-root2)/4= 3.14644660942....as pi value. Next
16 years - 24 hour daily struggle- helped me to confirm that value as pi. 4 papers are
published recently. I want to share them with you. Kindly read and oblige the request of this
fragile old man of 68...author

Introduction

equal to 3.1415926 is an approximation. It has ruled the world for 2240 years. There is a necessity
to find out the exact value in the place of this approximate value. The following method givesthe total area of
the square, and also the total area of the inscribed circle. derived from this area is thus exact.

II.

Construction procedure

Draw a circle with center 0 and radius a/2. Diameter is a. Draw 4 equidistant tangents on the
circle. They intersect at A, B, C and D resulting in ABCD square. The side of the square is also equal to
diameter a. Draw two diagonals. E, F, G and H are the mid points of four sides. Join EG, FH, EF, FG, GH
and HE. Draw four arcs with radius a/2 and with centres A, B, C and D. Now the circle square composite
system is divided into 32 segments and number them 1 to 32. 1 to 16 are of one dimension called S 1 segments
and 17 to 32 are of different dimension called S2 segments.

Jesus Method to Compute the Circumference of A Circle and

Exact Value
RD Sarava Jagannada Reddy
I.

Introduction

The Holy Bible has said value is equal to 3. Mathematicians were not satisfied with the value. They
thought over. Pythagorean theorem came in the mean time. A regular polygon with known perimeter was
inscribed in a circle and the sides doubled successively until the inscribed polygon touches the circumference,
leaving no gap between them. Hence this method is called Exhaustion method. The value of the perimeter of
the inscribed polygon is calculated applying Pythagorean theorem and is attributed to the circumference of the
circle. This method was interpreted, first time, on scientific lines by Archimedes of Syracuse, Greece. He has
said value is less than 3 1/7.
Later mathematicians have refined the Exhaustion method and found many decimals. The value is
3.1415926 and this value has been made official.
From 15th century (Madhava (1450) of South India) onwards infinite series has been used for more
decimals to compute 3.1415926 of geometrical method. Notable people are Francois Viete (1579), Van
Ceulen (1596), John Wallis (1655), William Brouncker (1658) James Gregory (1660), G.W. Leibnitz
(1658), Isaac Newton (1666), Machin (1776), Euler (1748), S. Ramanujan (1914), Chudnovsky brothers
(1989). The latest infinite series for the computation of value is that of David Bailey, Peter Borwein and
Simon Plouffe (1996) and is as follows:

i 0 16 8i 1

Using above formula Yasumasa Kanada of Tokyo University, Japan, calculated trillions of decimals
to 3.1415926.. with the help of super computer.
Mathematics is an exact science. We have compromised with an approximate value. Hence, many
have tried to find exact value. This author is one among the millions. What is ? It is the ratio of
circumference of a circle to its diameter. However, in Exhaustion method, perimeter of the inscribed polygon is
divided by the diameter of the outside circle. Thus 3.1415926. violates the definition of . This is about the
value of . Next, about the nature of . C.L.F. Lindemann (1882) has said is a transcendental number based
i

on Eulers formula e 1 0 . In Mathematical Cranks, Underwood Dudley has said s only position in
mathematics is its relation to infinite services (and) that has no relation to the circle. Lindemann proclaimed
the squaring of the circle impossible, but Lindemanns proof is misleading for he uses numbers (which are
approximate in themselves) in his proof.
Hence, pre-infinite series days of geometrical method is approached again to find out exact value
and squaring of circle. This author has struggled for 26 years (1972 to 1998) and calculated the exact value of
in March, 1998. The following method calculates the total length of circumference and thus the exact value
has been derived from it.

Procedure: Draw a square. Draw two diagonals. Inscribe a circle. Side = a,

Diagonal = 2a , Diameter is also = a = d.
1) Straighten the square. Perimeter = 4a

Perimeter Sum of the lengths of two diagonals =

esp = end segment of the perimeter of the square.

2) Straighten similarly the circumference of the inscribed circle

3 diameters plus some length, is equal to the length of the circumference.

Let us say circumference = x.
Circumference 3 diameters = x 3a = esc
esc = end segment of the circumference of the circle.
3) When the side of the square is equal to a, the radius of the inscribed circle is equal to a/2. So, the
radius is 1/8th of the perimeter of the square.
4) The above relation also exists between the end segment of the circumference of the circle and the end
segment of the perimeter of the square.

Durga Method of Squaring A Circle

Abstract: Squaring of circle is an unsolved problem with the official value 3.1415926 with the new value

Introduction

Squaring a circle is defined as constructing a square having an area equal to that of a given circle. It is
also called as quadrature of the circle.
This concept has been there from the days of Rhind Papyrus (1800 B.C) written by a scribe named
Ahmes. Hippocrates of Chios (450 B.C) has squared lunes, full circle and semicircle along with lunes. He
fore saw the algebraic nature of the value. value 3.1415926 has failed to find a place for it in the squaring
of lunes. Though the World of Mathematics has accepted his squaring of lunes, they became silent for why
3.1415926 is a misfit in his constructions. Further, there is a false opinion that Hippocrates could not square
a circle. However, Hippocrates did square a full circle and a semicircle along with a lune. In both the cases

misunderstood Hippocrates because, we believed 3.1415926 as the value of . I therefore apologize to
Hippocrates on behalf of mathematics community for the past mistake done by us. And to atone the
academic sin committed by us, I bow my head and dedicate the explained parts (for details: Pi of the
Circle, last chapter: Latest work, Pages from 273 to 281) to Hippocrates, in www.rsjreddy.webnode.com
James Gregory (1660) has said squaring of circle is impossible. His view has been confirmed by
C.L.F. Lindemann (1882) based on Eulers formula ei+1 = 0. Von K. Weiertrass (1815-1897) and David
Hilbert (1893) have supported the proof of Lindemann by their proofs.
S. Ramanujan (1913) has squared a circle upto some decimals of 3.1415926 Prof. Underwood
Dudley doesnt accept Lindemanns proof because this is based on numbers which are approximate in
themselves.

Abstract: Till very recently we believed 3.1415926 was the final value of .And no body thought exact
value would be seen in future. One drawback with 3.1415926is, that it is not derived from any line-segment
of the circle. In fact, 3.1415926 is derived from the line-segment of the inscribed/ circumscribed polygon in
and about circle, respectively. Surprisingly, when any line-segment of the circle is involved two things
happened: they are 1. Exact value is derived and 2 that exact value differs from 3.1415926 from its 3rd
decimal onwards, being 3.1464466 Two geometrical constructions of Hippocrates of Chios, Greece (450
B.C.) and Prof. Alfred S. Posamentier of New York, USA, and Prof. Ingmar Lehmann of Berlin, Germany, are
the supporting evidences of the new value. They are detailed below.
Keywords: value, lune, triangle, area of curved regions

I. Introduction

In the days of Hippocrates, value 3 of the Holy Bible was followed in mathematical calculations.
He did not evince interest in knowing the correct value of . He wrote a book on Geometry. This was the first
book on Geometry. This book became later, a guiding subject for Euclids Elements. He is very famous for
his squaring of lunes. Prof. Alfred S. Posamentier and Prof. Ingmar Lehmann wrote a very fine
collaborative book on . They have chosen two regions and have proved both the regions, though appear very
different in their shapes, still both of them are same in their areas. These areas are represented by a formula

r 2 1 . The symbol r is radius. , here must be, the universally accepted 3.1415926
2
Every subject in Science is based on one important point. It would be its soul. In Geometry, the soul is
a line-segment. The study of right relationship between two or more line-segments help us to find out areas,
circumference of a circle, perimeters of a triangle, polygon etc. For example, we have side in the square, base,
altitudein the triangle. The same concept is extended here, to show its inevitable importance in the study of
two regions of Professors of USA and Germany. The lengths of the concerned line-segments have been arrived

at and associated with r 2 1 . 3.1415926 does not agree with the value of line-segments of two regions.

of the Professors. This author does believe this argument involving interpretation of r 2 1 with the line2

segments, is acceptable to these great professors and the mathematics community. It is only a humble
submission to the World of Mathematics. Judgment is yours. If this argument in associating line-segment with
the formula looks specious or superficial, this author may beexcused.

However, the new value 3.1464466 =

II. Procedure
The two methods are as follows:
1. Hippocrates' Method of Squaring Lunes And Computation of The Exact Value
Archimedes's procedure for finding approximate numerical values of (without, of course, referring
to as a number), by establishing narrower and narrower limits between which the value must lie, turned out to
be the only practicable way of squaring the circle. But the Greeks also tried to square the circle exactly, that is
they tried to find a method, employing only straight edge and compasses, by which one might construct a square
equivalent to the given circle. All such attempts failed, though Hippocrates of Chios did succeed in squaring
lunes.
Hippocrates begins by noting that the areas of similar segments of circles are proportional to the
squares of the chords which subtend them

Consider a semi-circle ACB with diameter AB. Let us inscribe in this semi-circle an isosceles triangle
ACB, and then draw the circular arc AMB which touches the lines CA and CB at A and B respectively. The
segments ANC, CPB and AMB are similar. Their areas are therefore proportional to the squares of AC, CB and
AB respectively, and from Pythagoras's theorem the greater segment is equivalent to the sum of the other two.
Therefore the lune ACBMA is equivalent to the triangle ACB. It can therefore be squared.
The Circular arc AMB which touches the lines CA and CB at A and B
respectively can be drawn by taking E as the centre and radius equal to EA or EB.

As the value 0.1464466 which is half of FC or HK is in agreement with the area value of A/B region

The decimals 0.1415926 of the official value 3.1415926 does not tally beyond 3rd decimal with the half

& HK are incompatible with the areas of A & B calculated using official value. Then, which is real, Sirs?

III. Conclusion
3.1415926 agrees partially (upto two decimals only) with the line-segments of curved geometrical
constructions. When these line-segments agree totally and play a significant role in these constructions a
different value, exact value

Square ABCD
Side AB = 1
Diagonal = AC =

Take a paper and construct a square whose side is 1 (=10 cm) and diagonal 2 . Fold the paper
along the diagonal AC. Then bring the two points of A and C of the folded triangle touching each
other in the form of a ring, such that AC becomes the length of the circumference of the circle
whose value is

2 . Now the folded paper finally looks like a paper crown.

Let us find out the area of the circle
