Pi

Home

The number "Pi" is a finite number valuing less than 4, but has an infinite number of decimal digits. In math, Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. An ancient mathematician, Archimedes who lived between 287 - 212 BC, found the value of pi based on the area of a regular polygon inscribed within the circle and the area of a regular polygon within which the circle was circumscribed. If you were to print billion decimals of pi in ordinary font it would stretch from New York City to Kansas. The symbol was introduced by the English mathematician William Jones in 1706.
