  2. Liu Hui's π algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Hui's_π_algorithm

    Liu Hui's method of calculating the area of a circle. Liu Hui's π algorithm was invented by Liu Hui (fl. 3rd century), a mathematician of the state of Cao Wei.Before his time, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was often taken experimentally as three in China, while Zhang Heng (78–139) rendered it as 3.1724 (from the proportion of the celestial circle to the diameter ...

    The first commit to the GitHub repository is on 12 December 2017 by Romain Vimont. [8] scrcpy v1.0 was released 3 months later which included the support for basic screen mirroring and Android remote control. The first release packaged a Windows Executable and the server. [9]

  4. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Following Archimedes' argument in The Measurement of a Circle (c. 260 BCE), compare the area enclosed by a circle to a right triangle whose base has the length of the circle's circumference and whose height equals the circle's radius. If the area of the circle is not equal to that of the triangle, then it must be either greater or less.

    Grid points on a circle in taxicab geometry as the grid is made finer In any metric space , a sphere is a set of points at a fixed distance, the radius , from a specific center point.

  6. Cycle detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_detection

    Cycle detection is the problem of finding i and j, given f and x 0. Several algorithms are known for finding cycles quickly and with little memory. Robert W. Floyd's tortoise and hare algorithm moves two pointers at different speeds through the sequence of values until they both point to equal values.

  7. Spherical circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_circle

    A circle with non-zero geodesic curvature is called a small circle, and is analogous to a circle in the plane. A small circle separates the sphere into two spherical disks or spherical caps, each with the circle as its boundary. For any triple of distinct non-antipodal points a unique small circle passes through all three.

  8. History of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python

    Prior to the roll-out of Python 3, projects requiring compatibility with both the 2.x and 3.x series were recommended to have one source (for the 2.x series), and produce releases for the Python 3.x platform using 2to3. Edits to the Python 3.x code were discouraged for so long as the code needed to run on Python 2.x. [10]
