Best Answer

The relationship between the circumference and diameter of a circle has been known since ancient times but some of the early estimates were decidedly dodgy. So the person who found pi is lost in pre-history.

Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to have had a serious attempt at calculating its value. Despite a painstaking procedure, his answer, of 3.1485, was accurate to only two digits. Because pi is an irrational (transcendental) number, nobody is ever going to find its exact value. As of October 2011, pi had been calculated to 10 trillion (and 50) digits.
