$Eclipses can be approximated the same way as π. [ONE TAKE!] Huge thanks to Destin for the chat and footage. Check out their video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk0MRxXqo9s I was at the 2 July 2019 total solar eclipse in Argentina: 30°4107.6S 68°2850.2W My old video Solar Eclipse Maths and the Cosmic Coincidence of the Saros Cycle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieUvzy6rnnw Weve made some Think Maths teaching resources on approximating pi with a continued fraction. http://think-maths.co.uk/standupmaths-videos?yt-pi-approx#pi-approx The wikipedia page on solar eclipse cycles is actually pretty good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_cycle Wolfram Alpha can sort you out for all your continued fraction needs. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=continued+fraction+%5B3;+7,+15,+1%5D And this is the page with more about continued fractions than youll ever want to know. http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/cfINTRO.html CORRECTIONS - I misspoke a couple of times (303 instead of 333, 2023 instead of 2022) but the correct number was always onscreen. Thats what I get for doing it all in one take! - Yes, I mooned the camera. Im just that on theme. - Let me know if you spot anything else!
