Fear of needles Fear of needles Fear of needles, known in medical literature as needle phobia, is the extreme fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles. It is occasionally referred to as "aichmophobia" or "belonephobia", although these terms may also refer to a more general fear of sharply pointed objects. It has also been referred to as "trypanophobia", although the origin and proper usage of that term is highly controversial. The condition was officially recognized in 1994 in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition) as a specific phobia of blood/injection/injury type. Phobic level responses to injections cause sufferers to
Proof that π is irrational enough and that the sequence of all "g" converges to 0. But a sequence of numbers greater than or equal to |"y"| cannot converge to 0. Since "f"(/4) = cos(/2) = 0, it follows from claim 3 that /16 is irrational and therefore that is irrational. On the other hand, since another consequence of Claim 3 is that, if "x" ∈ Q \ {0}, then tan "x" is irrational. Laczkovich's proof is really about the hypergeometric function. In fact, "f"("x") = "F"(k; −"x") and Gauss found a continued fraction expansion of the hypergeometric function using its functional equation. This allowed
