π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in the Euclidean plane; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in the usual decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics‚ science‚ and engineering involve π‚ which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants. π is an irrational number‚ which means that its value cannot be
