Prices On The Desert Eagle

Pi: Faith in chaos. 1998. (Pi: order from chaos).


Darren Aronofsky



I consider mathematics as an ideal world. A place that has no existence independent of our own. This is a complex site, inextricable, dark, but coherent, fascinating, and receptacle of pure reason.

deep or shallow Those have come to know that this discipline is something indescribable main feature only might call magical. All that order, accuracy and inerrancy make as close to perfection, ergo God.

This idea, that mathematics is the divine language, is old and its gradual evolution has reinforced this mystical sign. Mathematicians have found that the more distant roads lead to the same number, as if nature will point to it directly.

Pi equals the ratio of the circumference of the diameter of the circle. Their discovery is lost in the annals of time. It has been a usual object of study and the findings continue:



The units unrelated to this rigorous science have been involved in the eccentricities that may be collected from the immaterial world away. The film, like identity and human consciousness, has reflected the more sinister aspects but also the most notable of society. In this particular case, Aronofsky shows a subject self-absorbed, obsessed with finding Number, one that gives logic to the universe, one who does it predictable, a number that gives a pattern to their demonstrations and finally demonstrate the relation between causes and effects.

The protagonist embarks on an odyssey through the sacred readings of Judaism, the behavior stock markets, the greedy multinationals and the teachings and progress of his mentor ... all to justify their existence and unravel the mysteries that the operator has put in front. The novel mathematics is involved in these and many other adverse situations until fate gives her enlightenment.

Given the impossibility of naming this hypothetical and transcendental value, the film resorts to that well-known number to entitle his work. The reason is not due to chance, rather the need to set a specific idea in mind of the beholder: the existence of a number with infinite properties, all unconsciously, we relate it to pi, eo phi.

Pi: the order of chaos marked the debut of an ambitious young filmmaker. Overall we can say that debuted on the right foot and both the critics as the ordinary public strongly approved testing capacity and distance of the recurrent topics.

Since this his debut, resources, as well as support from industry were scarce until after consummate success. Aronofsky proved once again that the special effects, well-known actors, production houses and the large sums spent on advertising are unnecessary when you have an innovative idea and it has enough technical capacity to materialize without departing from the many tangents that may arise in implementation. Aronofsky

merely projecting the dilemmas and questions that haunt again and again our thoughts and our deepest mental subterfuge. He chose to do the most purist and most rational man has discovered: abstraction.

Exercise 1. Show that pi is irrational.
Exercise 2. Proving the identity of Euler.
