Darwinbots is not:

(Inspired by "Wikipedia is not...")

Darwinbots is not a pizza.

Darwinbots is not a provelactic.

Darwinbots is not a middle name.

Darwinbots is not an essential part of a balanced breakfast.

Darwinbots is not spelled with a z. That is, Darwinbotz is most, most wrong.

Geometry

testing to see if this wiki supports Math Markup.

apparently not.

was looking to display it as it is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Geometry

too bad ... this would give us an easy way to diplay math/formulas, etc.

Nums ...

i think there is a way to impliment this ...

perhaps along the lines of implimenting the file upload thing. Griz^talk

$\pi$ appears in many formulae in geometry involving circles and spheres.

Geometrical shape	Formula
Circumference of circle of radius r and diameter d	$C = \pi d = 2 \pi r \,\!$
Area of circle of radius r	$A = \pi r^2 \,\!$
Area of ellipse with semiaxes a and b	$A = \pi a b \,\!$
Volume of sphere of radius r and diameter d	$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{1}{6} \pi d^3 \,\!$
Surface area of sphere of radius r	$A = 4 \pi r^2 \,\!$
Volume of cylinder of height h and radius r	$V = \pi r^2 h \,\!$
Surface area of cylinder of height h and radius r	$A = 2 ( \pi r^2 ) + ( 2 \pi r ) h = 2 \pi r (r + h) \,\!$
Volume of cone of height h and radius r	$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \,\!$
Surface area of cone of height h and radius r	$A = \pi r \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} + \pi r^2 = \pi r (r + \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}) \,\!$

(All of these are a consequence of the first one, as the area of a circle can be written as A = ∫(2πr)dr ("sum of annuli of infinitesimal width"), and others concern a surface or solid of revolution.)

Also, the angledegrees) is equal to π radians.
