Predictably Irrational fairy tale." Predictably Irrational Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions is a 2008 book by Dan Ariely, in which he challenges readers' assumptions about making decisions based on rational thought. Ariely explains, "My goal, by the end of this book, is to help you fundamentally rethink what makes you and the people around you tick. I hope to lead you there by presenting a wide range of scientific experiments, findings, and anecdotes that are in many cases quite amusing. Once you see how systematic certain mistakes are—how we repeat them again and again—I think you will begin
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
