Who was the first mathematician to calculate pi?
The first person to calculate pi was Archimedes, around 250 B.C. Using the formula:A = pi r^2
What did Archimedes do about pi?
Archimedes made pi more precise
Why did Archimedes first use the symbol Pi?
Archimedes first used the symbol PI because he was the first one to discover it so he wanted to investigate about it.
How did Archimedes make pi?
Archimedes made pi by using the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series. From the method of exhaustion, he gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi (3.141593). The more sides a polygon has, the closer the approximation approaches pi. Pn is the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides circumscribed around a circle with diameter d. The formula Archimedes used to calculate pi is: pi equals limits over number of sides to infinity multiplied by the perimeter of a regular polygon divided by the diameter.
