Talk:Pi (mathematical constant)/Proofs/An elementary proof that 22 over 7 exceeds π

Title

Can we call this article "Approximations of Pi" and list all modern approximations; this seems awfully specific and targetted.--Robert W King 15:03, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Although specific, this result is quite famous and has inspired further research. Besides the paper by Lucas mentioned in the article, F. Beukers notably found a generalization that not only produces a sequence of rational approximations of π, but also provides an irrationality measure for π.

I agree. Approximations to π is a far broader topic. I was so bold in the initial draft of article as to call this "startling and elegant" and I think that justifies it as a separate article. An article on approximations to π would be rather different in spirit. Michael Hardy 17:37, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

...I agree that it seems very specific, considering how many articles on broad and basic topics are not here yet. But it seems to be hoped that that last fact will not remain permanent. Michael Hardy 17:38, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

My only objection to the title is that it seems or gives the impression that it is an argument, or original research. I think the title should reflect something which is indicitive of mathematical correctness with respect to pi and not a point/counterpoint subject. --Robert W King 20:41, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
