I agree with all of the points in this post. Being a business professional, I am often appalled by…Read More the inaccurate use of sentence structure especially in business writing. Many of the new hires directly out of college often communicate by writing everything from their stream of consciousness. Although today's various new forms of digital communication (Twitter, FB, etc.) may actually influence and encourage the lack of attention to correct grammar, such mediums should not be that much of an impact on business communication. All this being said, I do now question today's educational emphasis on effective writing skills from grammar school through the collegiate level.

So, hopefully, their print is adequate... and it may well be...

Take a look at the entrance area outside Abbott Tech in Danbury, a 2 story Pi. Pi is an irrational…Read More number. It is created by dividing a circles circumference by it's diameter. Virtually all solutions for Pi calculated by modern devices, either us a constant to the number of digits the device is capable of supporting, or calculate Pi using a power series to approximate it's value with ever greater precision. As the value of Pi is irrational, the power series solution would be infinite. A mathematical power series must be transformed into a computational algorithm, either by looking at prior art, or employing a computer scientist who understands mathematics.
Iterative processes on infinite series are interesting, but can lead to infinite loops. Managing manipulation of various functions and constants (Sine, Tangent, Pi, e). We take for granted the ability to get very accurate results for many functions and constants today, in the past, calculation was impossible without direct measurement as the mathematics and methods for calculation weren't up to the task.
