Who invented the math term pi?
The Greek letter π (pi) was adopted for the number from the Greek word for perimeter "περίμετρος", first by William Jones in 1707, and later popularized by Leonhard Euler in 1737. The constant is occasionally also referred to as the circular constant or Archimedes' constant.
What do you call a number that stands alone in an equation?
In an equation, a number that stands alone is called a constant. It is a fixed value that does not change during the equation or its solution.
What were Archimedes contributions to math?
Archimedes discovered how to work out the area of the circle, and he also discovered pi.
Is a whole number a constant number?
Yes and no.If I have the problem 4x+5, 4 is a whole number, but it is combined with x to create a term, but +5 is a whole number and it is another term and it is also a constant.
Who discovered pi in maths?
Historically, Ancient Egyptians are the first who introduced a reasonably accurate value for the ratio of the circle area and its square radius. They used an approximate value of 3.1605 for pi The ancient Babylonians generally calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius (=3), but one Old Babylonian tablet (from ca. 1900-1680 BD) indicates a value of 3.125 for pi. The first theoretical calculation of a value of pi was that of Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BD), one of the most brilliant mathematicians of the ancient world. Archimedes worked out that 223/71 < pi < 22/7 The Greek letter π (pi) was adopted for the number from the Greek word for perimeter "περίμετρος", first by William Jones in 1707, and later popularized by Leonhard Euler in 1737. The constant is occasionally also referred to as the circular constant or Archimedes' constant.
What is another word for pi in German?
English: The number pi is Archimedes' constant or is called also ludolph's number after Ludolph van Ceulen. Deutsch: Die Zahl pi ist die Archimedes-Konstante oder wird auch die ludolphsche Zahl nach Ludolph van Ceulen genannt.

What is catalytic constant?
Kcat : First-order rate constant (kcat) reflecting the turnover number of the enzyme, or the number of molecules of substrate converted to product per unit time, when the enzyme is working at maximum efficiency, which called also turnover number. Kcat = Vmax / [E]total (Letian) Kcat : First-order rate constant (kcat) reflecting the turnover number of the enzyme, or the number of molecules of substrate converted to product per unit time, when the enzyme is working at maximum efficiency, which called also turnover number.

What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
