AI Thread Summary
To express 1.047 radians in terms of pi, the conversion involves recognizing that 1.047 is approximately equal to pi/3. The calculation 1.047 divided by pi yields approximately 0.33327, which is close to 1/3. The relationship can be derived by setting the equation 1.047 = pi/x, leading to x being approximately 3.001. Understanding significant figures is crucial in maintaining accuracy during this conversion process.

How would i write 1.047 rad in terms of pi? I know the answer i will get is Pi/3 rad, but HOW do i get this answer? I know how to convert degrees to radians and vice versa in terms of pi but this particular question is in radians. Help?

1.047/pi≈1/3
1/3*pi=pi/3

1/3*pi=pi/3

But when I calculate 1.047 / pi I get 0.33327. How did you get 1.047/pi ≈ 1/3 ? that's the only part i don't understand
 
Since your result 1.047 is written with 4 significant figures, you ought to keep that many in \theta = \pi / x \Rightarrow x =\pi / \theta = 3.001.

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
