Milü
Milü (; "close ratio"), also known as Zulü ( Zu's ratio), is the name given to an approximation to (pi) found by Chinese mathematician and astronomer Zu Chongzhi in the 5th century. Using Liu Hui's algorithm (which is based on the areas of regular polygons approximating a circle), Zu famously computed to be between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927 and gave two rational approximations of , and , naming them respectively Yuelü (; "approximate ratio") and Milü. is the best rational approximation of with a denominator of four digits or fewer, being accurate to six decimal places. It is within % of the value of , or in terms of common fractions overestimates by less than . The next rational number (ordered by size of denominator) that is a better rational approximation of is , still only correct to six decimal places and hardly closer to than . To be accurate to seven decimal places, one needs to go as far as . For eight, is needed. The accuracy of Milü to the true value of ca ...

Milu (mythology)
According to ancient Hawaiian myth, Milu is the god of the dead and ruler of Lua-o-Milu. He is now thought to share analogs with Hades. Under his command, are a host of beings known as spirit catchers who would trap wandering ghosts and bring them to his afterlife domain. In one legend, a chief harrowed of the loss of his wife, has his prayers answered and receives guidance from a deity who shows him the way into Milu's kingdom. They journey far out and find a tree split in two. Next they slide down it into the Earth's lower regions. Here, the deity hid behind a rock and covered the chief with odd smelling oil then sent him out by himself. Once the chief found Milu's palace, he noticed a group of spirits who were so distracted in the game they were playing, he was able to join, and luckily, when they did realize he was near them, they mistook him for a stinking ghost. When the crowd was finished, they wanted to play another game, hence the chief proposed they should all pull their ey ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lua-o-Milu
In Hawaiian religion, Lua-o-Milu is the land of the dead, ruled by Milu. Entrance to Lua-o-Milu is from the top of a valley wall or sea cliff where the soul departs via a tree. It is reported that each Hawaiian island has at least one leaping place. According to natives of the land, the entrance located in Waipio Valley has since been covered in sand and is now hidden from the sight of upper areas. Another documented area where souls enter the next world is Leina Kauhane. The spirits of the dead can watch what the living do and turn them to stone by staring at them.

Père David's Deer
The Père David's deer (''Elaphurus davidianus''), also known as the ''milu'' () or elaphure, is a species of deer native to the subtropical river valleys of China. It grazes mainly on grass and aquatic plants. It is the only extant member of the genus ''Elaphurus''. Some experts suggest demoting ''Elaphurus'' to a subgenus of ''Cervus''. Based on genetic comparisons, Père David's deer is closely related to Eld's deer. Père David's deer were hunted almost to extinction in their native China by the late 19th century, but a number were taken to zoos in France and Germany and the deer was bred successfully in captivity. In the early 20th century, the British nobleman and politician Herbrand Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford, acquired a few Père David's deer from the Berlin Zoo and built up a large herd on his estate at Woburn Abbey. In the 1980s, the duke's great-grandson Robin Russell, 14th Duke of Bedford, donated several dozen deer to the Chinese government for reintroducing t ...
