Who popularized the Pi symbol?
It was popularized by Leonhard Euler, when he adopted the symbol in 1737. By this time, Euler was already a fairly prominent mathematician, serving as head of the mathematics department at the Academy at St. Petersburg. As far as modern historians know, the symbol was first used for that purpose in print in 1706, by Welsh mathematician called William Jones. Prior to that, the symbol for pi was used for the circumference of a circle, not for the (constant) ratio of that circumference to the circle's diameter.

Who developed the symbol pi?
---- The symbol for pi was used by the early English mathematicians William Oughtred (1574 -1660), Isaac Barrow (1630-1677), and David Gregory (1661-1701) to designate the circumference , or periphery, of a circle. The first to use the symbol for the ratio of the circumference to the diameter was the English writer, William Jones, in a publication in 1706. The symbol was not generally used in this sense, however, until Euler (1707-1783) adopted it in 1737.
