Pi is one of the most well-known mathematical constants.
The value, written in 10 significant figures, for pi is 3.141592654, thus making it an irrational number, which is often approximated as 3.14 or 22/7.
It is formed by the ratio between a circle’s circumference to its diameter. This means that the distance around the edge of is a bit more that 3 times the distance across.
Since pi is known worldwide, there is an entire language made for it, named Pi-lish. In Pi-lish, one must use the number of letters in each word which match the equivalent digit of pi. There is a book written on this matter by software engineer Michael Keith called Not a Wake (3.14 is represented here)
The exact value of pi cannot be calculated, which is why we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle.
Mathematicians call pi an “infinite decimal” - after the decimal point, the digits go on forever and ever.
Pi is also known as “Archimedes’ constant,” “the circular constant,” or “Ludolph’s number.”
At 3/14 1:59 pm of each year, math enthusiasts have an annual opportunity to recite the infinite digits of π. They gather to talk about math and eat pie.
