The Number 71.428571 in Hindu Cosmology.

Haga, Enoch

School Science and Mathematics, v95 n3 p133-35 Mar 1995

The repeating cyclic fraction, 1/7, provides a plausible explanation for use of the number 71.428571 (71 and 3/7) in cosmology; for 22/7 as a value for pi; and for concepts of time and circle division related to breaths per minute. (Author/MKR)
