thanks
:: The Greeks defined pi to be the ratio of the area to the radius of the unit circle. That's why it came out 3.14... instead of 6.28... . I just edited the page to correct some slight mis-statements (the circumfrence is not a line because a line is by definition straight in Euclidean geometry), but it isn't worded well. Please fix the wording.

:::I don't see any problem with your wording, looked clear to me. Good point about the Greek definition of pi. And thanks for fixing my silly "origin-centered" formula for a circle! [[User:Human|Human]] 22:12, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
