Talk:Square root of 3

message: Based upon a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#"Infoboxes" on number articles, I've removed the infobox from the article. If anyone disagrees, could you please join the discussion there. Thanks, Paul August ☎ 14:56, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have suggested centralizing this discussion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Irrational_numbers_infobox and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Infobox_with_various_expansions as it refers to an infobox occurring in several articles. Please go there to build consensus on this edit. RobHar (talk) 19:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I know this isn't very scientific and all; and I'm not really a big fan of the movie, but shouldn't it be noted that there is a poem titled and "describing" the square root of 3 in the movie Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay?
The text can be found here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481536/faq#.2.1.16 I know we can't include it verbatim, but isn't it relevant? 217.93.175.214 (talk) 01:53, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

text: It is common for Wikipedia articles to have a section at the end called "In popular culture". You could create that section with this item -- say "In the movie "..." such and such character [name him] reads [or composes and reads? or composes and the narrator reads?] a poem called "Root 3" [or whatever it's called], in which the square root of three is used as a metaphor for being kept 'out of sight'."

message: For any numbers m & n, (2m + 3n)2 - 3(m + 2n)2 = m2 - 3n2, so we get the following series of approximations for \scriptstyle \sqrt{3}: 2/1, 7/4, 26/15, 97/56, 362/209, 1351/780, which gives rise to a method of constructing much more perfect 60° angles in images than the one in the article "Eisenstein prime" in the following image for an image that size.

replies: text: I clicked from Talk:Eisenstein prime to the image to here, hoping that here I'd find some clue to what the image is trying to tell us. You should annotate the image file itself! —Tamfang (talk) 18:53, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

message: It is interesting to learn that "The traditional mnemonic device for remembering this rounded value is George Washington's year of birth, 1732.", but I don't think this "tradition" exists anywhere else than in North America. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather remember it to be the year of birth of Beaumarchais and Fragonard...
I don't know how this should be handled? Arthurprat (talk) 01:10, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text:  It didn't make sense anyway, to remember one seemingly arbitrary digit sequence by another.  If anything, the root could serve as a mnemonic for the politician's year of birth.–Jérôme (talk) 23:39, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
