Pi is an extremely interesting number because it can never be written down exactly, although it can be written to any number of decimal places. In elementary mathematics we often take three and one seventh (or 22/7) to be a
reasonable value to work with, or we can use the decimal number 3.142, but neither is the correct value of Pi. Yet it is need in calculations in so very many aspects of science and maths. Without a knowledge of Pi the astronauts would not succeed, neither would engineers, whether for aircraft, engines, or dynamos and electrically driven cars. And yet it is simply the number of times that the diameter of any circle would wrap exactly around its circumference.
it is a number 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288... it's just a lot of numbers after that
pi is not an abbreviation. It is a letter of the Greek alphabet symbol that symbolises one particular ratio.
The first time the symbol Pi was first used for Pi was in ancient Greece in their numbers. The symbol "π" was number 80 in Greece.
what Englishman introduced the pi symbol, and in what year
No. the symbol for pi stems off of the Greek letter pi, probably due to the fact that the discoverer of pi was Greek.
The symbol π (pi) is the lowercase form of the 16th Greek letter Pi (prononced pee).
in the greek alphabet the letter P is the same as the pi symbol...i think
Pythagoras was the 1st person who used the pi symbol first
i think it was albert Einstein gave pi its symbol but im not sure.
William Jones first used the pi symbol (π) in 1706
Leonhard Euler used the symbol pi in 1737.
Pi as a mathematical symbol was introduced by William Jones in 1706
