Why was the pi symbol chosen?
i think the pi was chosen by greek people for 3/14/13
Who found the symbol for PI?
Actually, the number was discovered and then a symbol had to be assigned to it. Letters of the Greek alphabet are traditionally used for mathematical things, to the symbol for pi was naturally chosen from the Greek alphabet.
How are the symbol for pi and the word pi related?
The symbol of pi is 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and it was chosen because the first letter of the equivalent of the word perimeter begins with pi in the Greek language.
Why is the constant pi given the symbol?
Because is is irrational, it cannot be expressed as a fraction. Because it is transcendental, it cannot be expressed as the root of a polynomial (like square roots can). In other words, without making up a symbol or a name specifically for pi, there is no simple way to express its exact value. The reason the symbol was chosen is because pi is the greek version of the letter p. Like "p", pi is the first letter of the greek word for "perimeter". A circumference can be thought of as the "perimeter" of a circle, so the letter pi was chosen.
