Random Thought #63

I finished reading a book about the Golden ratio last week. Very fascinating book. It is designated by the greek letter ϕ. It is a cousin to the very familiar letter π. It is represented as c = π * 2r where c is the circumference of a circle and r is the radius. I wonder how pi actually got its name. Whenever you cut a pizza (also known as a pie in some areas) or a cake or a pie, you are literally making a radial (defining a radius) cut. Fascinating huh? After all, there aren't too many greek letters that also have the same name as a pastry and since the greeks were the ones who were big into math and such, it only makes since. Interesting. BTW...I'm eventually going to teach myself greek and hebrew (I hope) so I can better understand the scriptures.
