Is the “locus of a number” your invention?

październik 25, 2007 · Komentarzy: 2

Is the “locus of a number” your invention? Or is there an
online resource where I can read it up?

0. You say: the locus of Pi is a circular arc.

Now my questions:

1. What is the locus of 47.32?
Answer:

2. What is the locus of sqrt(2)?
Answer:

3. What is the locus of sqrt(Pi)+7?
Answer:

You think you found an interesting problem regarding
the “locus of a number”. But as long as the definition
of “locus of a number” is a problem, there is no
really interesting problem.
Well as long as there’s no interest there’s no interesting problem.
You’ve provided the interest. So there’s an interesting problem.
Cheers,

    Well, the locus of a number might not be undefined, I think.. Since we have assumed Pi as 180 degrees, for every real number we can calculate the arc in degrees as:
    a(r) = r*180/Pi

    The other question is that about how do we actually calculate the abovementioned expression. But therefore this is just the other question.. I don’t see any problems of the definition so far.
