Was pi invented or discovered?

RE: Was pi invented or discovered?
(March 14, 2013 at 5:50 am)Tiberius Wrote: Yes! Addition is part of mathematics. You cannot add things without it. Certainly, taking x cows and putting them with x other cows will get you more cows than you had before, but here's the point: the amount (number) of cows is not an intrinsic physical property of the cows. It's merely a way for humans to describe them.
"Red" is not an intrinsic property of light, it's merely a way for humans to describe how our eyes perceive certain wavelengths.


Quote:Red is the name of a color, which exist in the physical universe. Red has always been there, but the name for it is a human invention.
"Circle" is the name of a defined surface area, which exists in the physical world. Circles have always been there, but the name for them is a human invention.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
