How was the value of pi discovered?
Study of circles. It was derived by mathematicians(Greek?) who developed an infinite series to describe it.
What is the value of pi in decimal places?
Pi has an infinite number of decimal places
How can you calculate the exact value of pi?
22 divided by 7 * * * * * That is an APPROXIMATE value of pi. The exact value cannot be calculated since pi is a transcendental number - a special kind of irrational number. It has an infinite decimal representation with no recurring pattern. That would be true in any base - binary, octal, or another base (other than pi itself, or a power of pi).
Is pi an infinite series of digits?
Yes. Pi (π) is an an irrational number. Here are some of the digits: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105...
What is the proper way of accessing the constant Pi of the Math class?
There are various ways: most scientific calculators will give the value of pi to 8-10 decimal places. 3.14159 is sufficient for most normal calculations. Even 3.142 will suffice.There are very many infinite series which converge to pi or a simple function of pi. However, some converge very slowly and others are much more rapid. Search for infinite series for pi on the web for suggestions.
