#PythaShastri and Rational Numbers


Madhava of Sangamagrama gave
π/4 = 1- 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + . . . . . . . 

#PythaShastri gave
π/4 = 10/12 - 1/3.5 + 1/5.7 – 1/7.9 + 1/9.11 - . . . . . . .

What I did was multiply 3 of the Madhava of Sangamagrama with 5. 5 with 7. 7 with 9 and so on.
Well, both result in π/4, but with a difference. In #PythaShastri expression, there is a rational number 10/12.
If multiplication is rational, then division is rational too. So, the above two expressions seem to be saying.
I did conscience into quality. Here, conscience into quality is vague as conscience is vague and so is quality. There is no loss.
But several management models have numbers which are based on judgement. You are giving sanctity to rational numbers, then.
