DESCRIPTION: \n\nThis week\, Geoffery McGregor will be telling us about col
 lisions to Pi:\n\n The number Pi is defined by the quotient of a circular 
 object's circumference and it's diameter. Over the centuries many experime
 nts have been developed in order to approximate this quotient. In this tal
 k\, we discuss one such experiment. With only two billiard balls and a wal
 l\, and the assumption that momentum and kinetic energy are conserved\, we
  prove that one can generate the digits of Pi by counting the number of co
 llisions between these three objects along a straight line. To obtain more
  digits of accuracy we simply alter the weight of the second ball. Althoug
 h this isn't the most practical way to compute Pi\, it is certainly one of
  the most surprising.\n\n \n
