An approximation of this value performed by dropping a needle on a floor with parallel strips is named for Buffon.
An approximation of this value performed by dropping a needle on a floor with parallel strips is named for Buffon. The square root of two times this number appears in the normal distribution function, and squaring the circle is impossible because this number is transcendental. It is the period of the tangent function, as well as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. For 10 points, name this number which is approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.14.
