Who was the first mathematician to calculate pi?
The first person to calculate pi was Archimedes, around 250 B.C. Using the formula:A = pi r^2
What did Archimedes do about pi?
Archimedes made pi more precise
Why did Archimedes first use the symbol Pi?
Archimedes first used the symbol PI because he was the first one to discover it so he wanted to investigate about it.
How did Archimedes make pi?
Archimedes made pi by using the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series. From the method of exhaustion, he gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi (3.141593). The more sides a polygon has, the closer the approximation approaches pi. Pn is the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides circumscribed around a circle with diameter d. The formula Archimedes used to calculate pi is: pi equals limits over number of sides to infinity multiplied by the perimeter of a regular polygon divided by the diameter.
Who was the person first to use 3.14 as pi?
i think Archimedes was the first to discover pi (3.14) or leonhard euler by brichelle xD

Who thought of pi?
While it is suggested that the concept of pi has been in use since the time of the Egyptians, the firs person to extensively calculate pi (and whose name is most synonymous with it) is Archimedes
Who was the first to calculate the value of pi?
The Greek Philosopher Archimedes

How do we use Archimedes' discoveries today?
People all around America still use Archimedes discoveries today. Like The snail screw we use that to raise and move water. Another discovery from Archimedes we use today is pi. We use pi to find the circumference for circles. Everyone should use the "Principles of Archimedes" because we use that to weigh objects.

Who use the first to use pi?
The first person to use pi is the awesome man Archimedes he was the first to compute pi's value accurately! I know this answer and I'm in 5th grade!:)
What inequality did Archimedes use to approximate pi?
the answer is 22 to 7 or 22:7
Who was credited with figuring out how to calculate pi?
While many theorize that the concept of pi has existed since the Ancient Egyptian Empire, the first 'modern' mathematician to calculate pi with any large degree of accuracy (and record his work) was Archimedes of Ancient Greece.
