How does pi have to do with engineering?

Basically Pi 3.14.... Etc. is the number that is used for circles. Should you want to build a building with a cirlce roof you'll need to find the circumference. Basically you multiply pi with the diameter and you get the circumference. There is a lot more to it than that; pi turns up in many contexts which aren't about circles. One is Fourier series, used in problems ranging from the distribution of heat in physics to acoustics, image analysis, and in filters in circuits in electrical and computer engineering. The formulas for Fourier series involve pi. I think you will find that pi turns up in every branch of engineering.


How do you Program to calculate the value of pi using Monte Carlo method?

//Program to calculate the value of pi using monte carlo method: /* NADEEM AHMAD MCA 2012 NITISH HOODA M TECH 2012 SHARDA UNIVERSITY GREATER NOIDA*/ #include<stdlib.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> #include<string.h> #include<conio.h> #define SEED 35791246 void main(int argc, char* argv) { int niter=0; double x,y; int i,count=0; /* # of points in the 1st quadrant of unit circle */ double z; double pi; printf("Enter the number of iterations used to estimate pi: "); scanf("%d",&niter); /* initialize random numbers */ srand(SEED); count=0; for ( i=0; i<niter; i++) { x = (double)rand()/RAND_MAX; y = (double)rand()/RAND_MAX; z = x*x+y*y; if (z<=1) count++; } pi=(double)count/niter*4; printf("# of trials= %d , estimate of pi is %g \n",niter,pi); getch(); }


Definition of piecewise linear chaotic map?

the piecewise linear chaotic map is defined as follows: xi+1=Fpi(xi)= xi/pi if 0<=xi<pi (xi-pi)/(0.5-pi) if pi<=xi<0.5 Fp(1-xi) if xi>=0.5 where 0<=xi<1 and the control parameter 0<pi<0.5


Assign the value of pie ie 3.142 to a variable with requisite data type?

float pi = 3.142; // Note: pi is an irrational number, there is no "exact" value of pi


What is the use of arrays over pointers?

Arrays can be regarded as constant pointers. Example: int *pi, ai[5]; pi= ai; /* okay */ pi[0]= ai[0]; /* okay */ ai[0]= pi[0]; /* okay */ pi= (int *)malloc (10*sizeof (int)); /* okay */ ai= pi; /* NOT okay */ ai= (int *)malloc (10*sizeof (int)); /* NOT okay */
