Trapped in Geometry: Life of Pi

Life is an iterative cycle of infinite trials and unexpected changes. Whether these changes are trials of faith, faith, or courage, the experiment will never end. This is very similar to the countless sequences that make up Pi. On the other hand, the belief is to guide the circumference of Pi along the test circle. The story of "pie life" by Jan Martel is about how the influence of geometry helps boys to believe in gods and survive on incredible wrecks that have shaped his life forever .

Pi is an important part of many formulas. Most geometric students first encounter pi when learning a circle and know that the area of ​​the circle is equal to pi multiplied by the square of the length of the radius. This formula - A = πr 2 - may be expressed as "Area is equal to π × square". This is the basis of the old joke that pie is circular rather than square. You may have noticed the above expression and many other places, pi is represented by the Greek letter pi (π) (and its name). The Greek letter π was originally used to represent William Jones' pi in 1706. Because π is an abbreviation of the boundary of a Greek word: "περρμμετρος".

The name itself - Pi comes from the Greek letter pi, the character closely related to the circle, the geometric symbol normally used to represent the eternal concept, and hence also the concept of God. Similarly, in mathematics, pi is used to represent irrational numbers - eternal numbers. Through symbolic eternal names, Pi's "resurrection" actually symbolizes the resurrection of Christ in the doctrine of Christ - eternal life. In addition, Pai chose such an important symbol for his name. Therefore, similarity of Pi and Christ was established when Pi and a tanker carrying his family sunk and Pi became independent from Richard Parker in the second half of the novel. Progress is likely to be seen as a re-expression of Christ's own suffering, death and resurrection.
