基本解釋

◎ 祖率 zǔlǜ
[the approximate ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter as calculated by Zu Chong Zhi][數(shù)]∶南北朝時(shí)祖沖之算出圓周率的近似值在3.1415926和3.1415927之間,并指出圓周率的約率為22/7,密率為355/113。為了紀(jì)念祖沖之,把他算出的近似值叫做祖率

英文翻譯

1.{數(shù)} the approximate ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter as calculated by Zu Chongzhi (祖沖之 A.D. 429-500), i.e. between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927

詳細(xì)解釋

指我國(guó) 南朝 時(shí)數(shù)學(xué)家 祖沖之 計(jì)算出來(lái)的圓周率的近似值，密率為355/113。《文匯報(bào)》1983.12.9：“ 祖沖之 把圓周率的數(shù)值推算到小數(shù)點(diǎn)后七位數(shù)，這在全世界是第一人。 日本 數(shù)學(xué)家曾建議把密率355/113稱(chēng)為‘祖率’，來(lái)紀(jì)念這位 中國(guó) 的大數(shù)學(xué)家?！?/p>
