A conversation about Pi. CORRECTION: At around 2:30 I mistakenly said that 5/2 was equivalent to 1.5. Obviously this is not true and 5/2 is actually equivalent to 2.5. Andy Rundquist is a professor of physics at Hamline University, where I go to school. He runs a physics blog and also did a science performance with Bill Nye at the Mall of America!
