The name honors physicist Richard Feynman, who is said to have
joked about memorizing pi up to that point and then mischievously
claiming pi is rational by reciting the six nines and saying "and so
on". However, there is no clear record of Feynman actually making this
remark in a lecture, and the story has become part of mathematical
folklore.
Chat GPT kindly wrote a short poem to help me remember the first ten
digits of pi.
Counting All Digits,
Aiming Every Intention,
Boldly Facing Every Dream.
Can anyone do better?
