<p>Randy Weiss brings us this mathematical totem pole from New Haven, Connecticut. The large brown building peaking over the inset image on the left is the US headquarters of the Knights of Columbus. The building on the right of the sign in the background is the New Haven Coliseum which has it&#8217;s parking structure on top of the arena. The Coliseum is being demolished at present.</p>

<p>What are the odds that we have two sequential, controversial signs. Within days of each other, but literally on the <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/archive/2005/08/05/ChinaRoot.aspx">other side of the globe we get the same math solution</a>. The coincidence of this is stunning.</p>
<div class=math>\sqrt{1} = 1</div>
<p>This sign comes from Westbrook, Connecticut where highway 153 intersects with highway 1. The GPS coordinates are approximately N41 17 09.4 W72 26 59.0. <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/map/map.asp?id=46">See sign on map!</a></p>

<p>This sign, the 40th mathematically significant roadsign is a real &#8220;barnburner&#8221;! The accomplishments of this 40th sign are many fold. First, it&#8217;s only the 2nd constant sign ever found, and the first one that results in pi (see <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/archive/2005/07/07/EulerAnybodyEuler.aspx">Euler, Anybody, Euler</a>). Secondly, it is the first sign for another state, bringing Connecticut to the game. Lastly it also qualifies as a Blue Ribbon sign for it&#8217;s many accomplishments. This sign is the last in a long string of signs submitted from <strong>David Slauenwhite</strong>.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/import/signs/2005/20050714-SliceOfPi.jpg" border="0" height="300" width="350" /></p>
<p>This sign is straightforward in it&#8217;s mathematics. The 44 and 7 combination at first doesn&#8217;t seem to yield anything. However, due to the two 7&#8242;s we can divide 44 by 2, yielding 22. 22 factors into 7 <em><strike>exceeding</strike></em> (see <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/archive/2005/09/18/ConstantClarification.aspx">Constant Clarification</a>) close to one of the most famous constants in all of mathematics.</p>
<p class="math">{ 44 \over 7 + 7 } = { 22 \over 7 } \approx 3.142857 \approx 3.14 \approx \pi</p>
<p><strike>Only 0.001264 away from pi!</strike> (see <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/archive/2005/09/18/ConstantClarification.aspx">Constant Clarification</a>)</p>
<p>This sign comes from Canaan, Connecticut where highways 44 and 7 come together. The GPS coordinates are approximately N42 01 27.0 W73 19 26.5. <a href="http://www.roadsignmath.com/map/map.asp?id=40">See sign on map!</a></p>
