The History of Pi The History of Pi Most individuals who have a general mathematical education that touches on the basics of geometry commonly know pi. The definition of pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of the circle (Smoller‚ 2001). The majority of the population‚ however‚ does not realize the history associated with the symbol‚ which not only spans throughout the centuries but throughout the millenniums. The Babylonians‚ Egyptians‚ Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Leonardo of Pisa

Pi has always been an interesting concept to me. A number that is infinitely being calculated seems almost unbelievable. This number has perplexed many for years and years‚ yet it is such an essential part of many peoples lives. It has become such a popular phenomenon that there is even a day named after it‚ March 14th (3/14) of every year! It is used to find the area or perimeter of circles‚ and used in our every day lives. Pi is used in things such as engineering and physics‚ to the ripples created

The History of Pi Throughout the history of mathematics‚ one of the most enduring challenges has been the calculation of the ratio between a circle’s circumference and diameter‚ which has come to be known by the Greek letter pi. From ancient Babylonia to the Middle Ages in Europe to the present day of supercomputers‚ mathematicians have been striving to calculate the mysterious number. They have searched for exact fractions‚ formulas‚ and‚ more recently‚ patterns in the long string of numbers

Justin Carlton PI DAY 3/14/13 * Definition of pi: Pi is the 16th letter in the Greek alphabet. It is equal to 3.141592 when shortened‚ but never ends. * Archimedes-One of the major contributions Archimedes made to mathematics was his method for approximating the value of pi. It had long been recognized that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was constant‚ and a number of approximations had been given up to that point in time. Archimedes was the first person
