Watch the film PI and answer these questions about the film.

The film "Pi" has a math- computer - numerology theme, and is an early effort by Darren Aronofsky, who is famous for "The Black Swan". If you have seen "The Black Swan", I think you will recognize "Pi" as Anonofsky's work. The computer "Euclid" is supposed to be an early computer, from the time when Steve Jobs built the first Apple in his garage. "Pi" is somewhat dyspotain, low budget film. Something you might miss at the very end is when Jena asks Max to calculate 748 divided by 238. If you check this on your calculator, this is a "quick" approximation of pi. Do you know a better one? Try 355/113.

The Bible (1 Kings 7:26) says Pi equals 3. The Indiana General Assembly passed a bill defining Pi as equal to 3.2 (The Indiana Senate did not pass this bill, so it did not become law). Pi has now been calculated to 12.1 trillion places. Actually, this is not a trivial exercise, as computers and programs can be compared and checked for accuracy by seeing whether the calculations agree.
