3.1415........... (in more simpler terms, it is a ratio). Pi represents the ration between a circles circumference to its diameter. So in other words, pi=(c/d), making pi a constant [3.1415....]. Isn't math just wonderful!!
if you take a perfect circle and divide the circumference by the diameter you get pi (3.14159.....goes on forever as far as we know) no matter how big or small your circle is, if it's a true circle this ration C=pi*D will always be true The decimal representation of pi DOES go on for ever - not just "as far as we know". If it terminated, then pi would be a rational number, and it is not.
who invented the ration books
The word ration has two syllables. The syllables of the word are ra-tion.
Pi was discovered, not invented. It was found, centuries ago, that no matter what size a circle was, the circumference always bore the same relationship to the diameter. They knew, even though they lacked precise measuring tools, that this number was not one which could be expressed as the exact ration of any two numbers. It has been 'refined' down the ages - drawing ever closer to the true figure, but never getting there. As a result, pi is used as a 'shorthand' for a very imprecise figure.
