03 Jul 24 - 11:09 AM (#4204918) Subject: RE: BS: New way to calculate Pi From: MaJoC the Filk I don't recognise all of the notation. What's with the n-1 at the bottom right? a subscript? a low-flying superscript? There's also a mysterious dot at the right-hand end, which may or may not be punctuation. Perhaps it's all a Darstadly Plot to make me feel old. |

My son also informed me that capital-lambda is the symbol for the video game Half-Life (apparently because radioactive decay turns up in the first few sentences of the back story); this reminded me in turn that Lambda-CDM is the name of the (current) standard cosmological model in physics .... though in our house, it stands for the half-life of Cadbury's Dairy Milk in the fridge. |
