The concept of circumference, the distance around a circle, dates back to ancient civilizations. While no single individual can be credited with its creation, the ancient Greeks, particularly mathematicians like Archimedes, made significant contributions to understanding and calculating it. Archimedes approximated the value of pi (π), which is essential for calculating circumference, around 250 BC. The formula for circumference (C = 2πr or C = πd) is derived from his work and has been used ever since.
