Pi is a letter in the Greek alphabet but it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. Approximately 3.142 (at 3 decimal places).
Earliest references to Pi was by the Egyptians, who calculated it to be approximately (4/3)^4 which equals 3.1604.
Generally, Archimedes of Syracuse is considered to be the main man. He found that pi is somewhere about 3.14 (in fractions; Greeks did not have decimals).
New knowledge of Pi then bogged down until the 17th century. Pi was then called the Ludolphian number, after Ludolph van Ceulen, a German mathematician. The first person to use the Greek letter Pi for the number was William Jones, a Welsh mathematician born in the village of LLanfihangel in Anglesey, who coined it in1706.

Where did the math symbol pi in math come from?
'pi' is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet. It refers to 'proportion, because for all circles, however, large of small , the constant of proportion (p/pi) between the circumference and the diameter is 3.141592.... , which is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/fraction. Casually, the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Algebraically, Circumference is directly proportional to diameter. Reduced to letters C is directly proportional to d. This is then equated with a constant(k) C = k*d k = C/d From ancient times the 'k' was substituted by 'pi/p' as it refers to 'proportion'. Hence we have pi = C/d or C = pi*d 'd' being the length of two(2) radii is substitutied again as C = 2pir In school/college, when learning about circle geometry, you will probably be given pi = 3.14, 3.1416 or 22/7 . These figures are only APPROXIMATIONS, but are given for ease of learning.
