Today is 3.27 , so it must be meter to celebrate the Lévy invariable ! The Lévy constant quantity report the asymptotic behaviour of the denominator of convergent continued fractions .
Continued fraction are those number created by an reiterative process of write out a number as the sum of it ’s integer part and the reciprocal of another number , which is itself write as the sum total of it ’s integer parts and another reciprocal , and so on until your nous explodes .
If a retain fraction finally hone in on some numeral , then it is a convergent continued fraction . In that case , the bottom part ( the denominator ) of all those fractions are asymptotic , which means if you graph them , they ’d form a curve approach but never reaching a line .
… yeah , it ’s an unsung one . But during the grouping discussion on the far - more - popularPi twenty-four hours , I did promise to throw my accompaniment behind

as whimsey demanded . Anyway , we ’re not alone : IEEE Spectrum is also celebrating Lévy Day !
