William Jones chose the symbol π (pi) in 1706 to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter because it is derived from the Greek word "periphery" (περίμετρος). He aimed to establish a consistent notation for this important mathematical constant, which was previously represented in various ways. The use of π quickly gained popularity among mathematicians, solidifying its status as the standard symbol for this fundamental ratio.
