Talks & discussions

About event

The lecture will be about counting, estimations, about the fact that we don't need physical tables and everything can be calculated by heart. What about logarithms and the fact that logarithmic tables can be invented. That we know Ludolf's number absolutely exactly and we normally calculate with the number system based on Pi. About the fact that the formulas for the content of a circle and a sphere teach us badly and how to do it better.
