Day Of The C<\/strong>ircle today. A celebration of Roundness. Surprising, really, when you stop and look just how many things are circular — plates, coffee mugs, egg yokes, etc.. Also arguments. What I mean is, if you closely analyze certain arguments, divide the circumference of the argument by its diameter, you find an endless number points which never repeat or terminate.<\/p>\n

I’m not mentioning any names.<\/p>\n

Oh well, what comes around goes around they say. See there, the concept of the Circle infuses even of our statements of general truth. Sure, other shapes have as well — “you and I need to get Sqaure” — but four-sided shapes do not have any properties that drive the human imagination, not like the Circle.<\/p>\n

Like humans, Circles aren’t perfect or immutable. Step on a Circle and it becomes an oval, an ellipse. But guess what? Even a humbled Circle holds its intrigue. The area of a perfect circle equals Pi times its radius squared. The area of an ellipse equals Pi times its short radius (b) times its long radius (a).<\/p>\n
