Mathematical Constants
Intriguing, ubiquitous, and at times mysterious, numerical constants set the allowable limits for all universal phenomena. Whether your questions involves π, Avogadro's number, Planck's constant, the atomic mass unit, or any of the other multitudes of immutable numbers used in science, this is the category where they should be asked.

Why does your 1999 wrangler overheat at highway speed but doesn't when going slower?
Low coolant?
Air flow through radiator restricted?

Defective radiator cap?
Why is Avogadro's number used to relate the number of particles in 1 mole?
By definition the Avogadro number is the number of molecules in 1 mole of substance; the value is 6,022 140 857(74).10e23.
No, length is a relative measure. If an object is travelling close to the speed of light it undergoes Lorenz contraction.
How much bigger is -118 than -214?
-118 is bigger than -214 by 96. It is because on negative number line a smaller number is bigger than the bigger one.
Can someone explain the golden ratio simply?
The Golden Ratio is a number, roughly 1.61803.....
-- The number was historically considered to be the ratio of the length to width
of a rectangle that's most pleasing to the eye, and it shows up all over the place
in ancient Greek architecture.
-- It's the solution to the equation [ x - 1 = 1/x ] . . . the number that's 1 more
than its reciprocal.
That works out to 1/2 of [ 1 + sqrt(5) ]
-- As you list more and more terms of the Fibonacci Series, the ratio of each term
to the one before it heads for that number.
What is the Final number of Pi?
Pi is a transcendental number that can be computed to any number of digits, so in effect it can be considered to have an infinite number of digits. To date it has been calculated to more than 10 trillion decimal places.
Pi happens to be one of the transcendental number?
Yes, pi is trascendental.
Yes, pi is trascendental.
Yes, pi is trascendental.
Yes, pi is trascendental.
What does it mean when people say you divided by zero?
It means that your not making any sense? Cause you can't divide a number by zero.
Why zero divided by zero is not 1?
A division is the answer to a multiplication problem. For example:
(number) = 6 / 3
is the answer to:
2 times (number) = 6
What number do you have to replace here? There is exactly one solution, namely the number 3.
1 / 0 is equivalent to:
(number) times 0 = 1.
This has no solution.
0 / 0 is equivalent to:
(number) times 0 = 0
This has infinitely many solutions; any real number will work. However, in both cases (non-zero divided by zero, and zero divided by zero), it has been shown that dividing by zero causes lots of errors (for example, you can "prove" that 0 = 1; meaning, you can "prove" almost anything, if you carelessly divide by zero). Therefore, division by zero is usually not considered an acceptable operation, especially in pure mathematics.
Is it possible to find the whole number of pi?
Nope - Pi is an infinite number. The fractional equivalent is 22/7 which can never be a whole number.
Which are the biggest airlines in the world by number of passengers?
