Les Maths

In France, you don't study Math (singular) you study Les Mathématiques (plural). In honor of pi week (3-14), we are including a few translations of Math terms:

Pi: le pi 

Circle: le cercle

Circumference: la circonférence

Radius: le rayon

Diameter: le diamètre

Irrational: irrationnel

Never-ending: interminable

Infinity: l'inifini

Area: la surface, la superficie

Volume: le volume

Diameter: le diamètre

Formula: la formule

Length: la longeur

Width: la largeur

Height: la hauteur

Depth: la profondeur

Le pi équivaut à environ 3,14. (Pi is equal to approximately 3.14). Notice that a decimal point in French is a comma and a comma is a decimal point! Three thousand forty nine dollars and 9o cents is written: ($3.049,90). Now who's got it backwards... us or them?
