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.
pi is a universal constant and was not invented by anybody. It was known to the ancient Babylonians long before the Swiss were literate.
what Englishman introduced the pi symbol, and in what year
No. the symbol for pi stems off of the Greek letter pi, probably due to the fact that the discoverer of pi was Greek.
The symbol π was popularized by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in the early 18th century to represent this ratio.

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.
Leonhard Euler used the symbol pi 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.
