'pie'???? Do you mean 'meat pie', or 'apple pie'.
I think not!!!
If you mean the 'pi' of circular fame, then it is spelled as 'pi'. It is the modern English spelling of the Classical Greek small/lower case letter 'p'. and represents 'proportion'.
It origins go back to the Sumerian Civilisation, some 4000 years ago.
It was noticed , that when a donkey or mule was tethered to a post to drive up water from a well . the animal would go round in a circle, and the tether would be the radius.
However, long the radius and its corresponding circle, the constant of PROPORTION was always the same , that it pi = 3.141592....
Thereby the circle equations were calculated l-
C= pid or C = 2pi*r
Where 'd' = diameter and 'r' = radius , thereby d = 2r.
The Classical Greeks applied 'pi' to the eq'n.
pi is an Irrational number, which casually means that the decimals go to infinity AND there is no regular order in the decimal digits. . To date 'pi' has been calculated to at least 50 billion places and still going.
When given pi = 3.14 or 3.1416 etc., these are only approximations, and NOT the exact value.
Hope that helps!!!!
