Two times pi , not pi itself , is the truly sacred number of the circle , palais contended .

帕莱索声称，2π，而不是π本身，才是圆的那个真正神圣数字。

That 's the opening line of a watershed essay written in 2001 by mathematician bob palais of the university of utah .

这是犹他州立大学数学家鲍勃帕莱索写于2001年一篇颠覆性文章的开篇。

Recent projects include the grand palais , paris and guggenheim bilbao .

基弗最近的展出计划包括巴黎的大皇宫和毕尔巴鄂的古根海姆。

Palais originally argued that pi should be changed to equal ( approximately ) 6.28 while others prefer giving that number a new name altogether .

帕莱索原来坚持圆周率π应改为等于（约）6.28，而另一些人则更愿给那个数值一个全新的名称。

Aside from preventing errors , as palais put it in his article , " the opportunity to impress students with a beautiful and natural simplification has turned into an absurd exercise in memorization and dogma . "

除了防止错误之外，就如帕莱索在其文章中所说，“用一种优美和自然的简化方式给学生留下深刻印象，这一初衷已演变成一种记忆式和教条式的荒谬行径。”
