"For all practical purposes Pi = 3.14" BadJoe, I made an error on the first statement. I was so taken in with the BCS standings I had to reevaluate.
I agree, BadJoe, I like the rounding off for practical purposes.
Usually, I even go so far as to round the numbers you came up with, for simplicity' sake.
For example:
- I round [certain] odd numbers [like Pi] down, so I put Pi to the first] small odd number, which brings it to 1.
- Because then, since I like to calculate square roots exactly, I am easily able to determine that the SR of 1 is 1.00000000.
- So, since that is odd, then I round that down to the nearest integer, which makes it zero or 0.00000000000
- So, for all practical purposes Square Root of Pi = 0
My answer of 0, is close to yours of 1.7728105, AFTER you subtract Miami's current BCS standings. 1.7728105 - 2.50 = -0.7271895
This, rounded off upwards, becomes 0 as well.
