The pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by William Jones. The usage of the symbol was popularized by Leonhard Euler. He adopted it in 1737.
The symbol π was popularized by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the early 18th century to represent this ratio.
The mathematician William Jones first used the Greek letter pi in 1706. In 1707, the great mathematician Euler popularized it.

The symbol for pi (π) has been used in mathematics for centuries to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The use of the symbol π to represent this ratio was popularized by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. Jones introduced the symbol in his book "Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos," where he used π as an abbreviation for "periphery." Over time, the symbol became widely adopted in mathematical literature and is now universally recognized as representing the mathematical constant pi.
The symbol for pi (π) comes from the Greek language. It is derived from the Greek word "periphery," which relates to the circumference of a circle. The use of π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was popularized by the mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 18th century.

The first person to use the pi (π) symbol was Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. He adopted it to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, deriving it from the Greek word "periphery" (περίμετρος). The symbol was later popularized by the mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 18th century, solidifying its use in mathematical literature.
