Euler
The mathematician William Jones first used the Greek letter pi in 1706. In 1707, the great mathematician Euler popularized it.
The first known use of the symbol π to represent the mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159... was by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. However, it was the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler who popularized the use of π in his mathematical works and made it widely recognized.
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.
pi is a universal constant and was not invented by anybody. It was known to the ancient Babylonians long before the Swiss were literate.
The symbol for pi (π) was first used by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. He chose the symbol because it is the first letter of the Greek word "periphery," reflecting its connection to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The symbol gained popularity after being adopted by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 18th century, solidifying its use in mathematics.
The symbol π was popularized by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the early 18th century to represent this ratio.

Leonhard Euler used the symbol pi in 1737.
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.
Maurits Escher was a remarkable Swiss mathematician and teacher that was responsible for instituting the use of the symbol pi in mathematical notation.
