Your Teahouse Question related to Helix Nebula Science Cloud

Your question in Wikipedia Teahouse related to Helix Nebula Science Cloud has been answered (or replied). You can see here: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#a_sense_of_proportion. Best, --Tito Dutta ^Message 21:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually, Sarah moved it here as it was not a question. Please don't give up yet! The hosts of the Teahouse are happy to help you get the article ready, they have lots of experience with the seemingly-mysterious requirements. heather walls (talk) 21:51, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Aryabhata spelling

Yes, I know Sanskrit, and actually have been finding the answer for last few months now.. I was interested to learn the exact pronunciation of t in Aryabhata, is it ट or त? If it is त then the meaning of the name becomes, a person who is representative of Aryan culture.
Another answer I have been searching is the way Aryabhata calculated Pi. Aryabhata used this string: (see details in this section of Aryabhata article)

Add four to 100, multiply by eight, and then add 62,000. By this rule the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 20,000 can be approached ((4 + 100) × 8 + 62000)/20000 = 62832/20000 = 3.1416"

But the thing I have not understood in that Wikipedia article (I am not a contributor there, just a reader), from where Aryabhata got the numbers 4, 100, 8, 62000, 20000? When we say Pi=22/7, we can understand if circumference is 22 unit then diameter will be 7 unit, but, what are these 4, 100, 8, 62000, 20000? Any idea? --Tito Dutta ^Message 23:23, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I am inclined to think that the sum is not mathematical. Clearly the 20,000 diameter is a 10,000 radius, so imagining we don't have decimal points, the natural way to express a truth about the circle relating to 2π is to look at bigger circles

• Radius 1 circumference 6
• Radius 10 circumference 63
• Radius 100 circumference 628
• Radius 1000 circumference 6283
• Radius 10000 circumference 62832

The two questions left are why 62832 is constructed that way - could it be a mnemonic? Or possibly an obscuring device? and how did he calculate the figure? At this point I am overwhelmed by my ignorance, but I think the 20,000 at least is explained. Rich Farmbrough, 02:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC).
