JudyPi (π) is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, which means it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction and has infinite decimal places (approximately 3.14159). The concept of pi has been known for thousands of years and has been studied extensively throughout history by mathematicians from various cultures. One of the earliest recorded approximations of pi was by the ancient Egyptian mathematician Ahmes around 1650 BCE, but the symbol π was first used by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706.
