Since the Sumerian Civilisation. ~ 2000 BC.
The ratkio of circumference to diameter, which is 'pi' has been known for over 4000 years.
When the ancients investigated the ratio of curculaference to diameter of any sized circle, they always cam up wityh the same constant of proportion (pi).
Ciircumferecne is directly proportional to diameter
This is equated to
C = k*d
'k' is the constant of proportion.
Hence C/d = k ( pi = 3.141592.....)
'pi' is the lower case classical Greek letter 'p'. and is used from Classical Times for circular proportion.

Why is pi an inrational number?
An irrational number has no end and pi is infinite and has no end, therefore pi is irrational. Note: There are computers that have been computing the number pi for a long time and there has been no end yet. The numbers just keep going on and on and there is no rhyme reason or pattern to it.
What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle when the diameter is known?
It is NOT a formula but an EQUATION . The answer is C = pi*d This equation has been known for thousands of years. It can also be in the form of C = 2 pi r NB 2r = d Also A = pi r^(2) for the area of a circle.
What is the longest known value of pi?
The longest known value of pi is now into the hundreds of billions of digits.
Pi is known to be over how many digits long?
Pi is infinite. The current number of digits calculated is over ten-trillion. If you want to find a pretty good estimate, divide 22 by 7.
How many digits of pi have been discovered?
1.2411 trillion digits (1,241,100,000,000) digits of pi have been dicovered.
Did William Jones invent pi?
No. pi was known long before.
How long were mathematicians been studying pi?
Pi have been studied for over 10 centuries!!!
Information about the discovery of pi by aryabhatta?
Aryabhatta did not discover pi - it was known long before him. He found a more accurate value and a method for calculating pi to greater accuracy than was previously known.
What is pi hat in statistics?
Consider a distribution with an unknown parameter pi. If the true value of pi is not known but has been estimated, then the estimated value is usually denoted by pi-hat. This is to distinguish between a known parameter and an estimated one.
Which Swiss Mathmematician invented pi?
pi is a universal constant and was not invented by anybody. It was known to the ancient Babylonians long before the Swiss were literate.
When was pi known as a value?
Since ancient times it was known that when a circle's circumference is divided by its diameter the quotient is pi which is an irrational number and its exact value has never been finally determined.
Why is pi an inrational number?
An irrational number has no end and pi is infinite and has no end, therefore pi is irrational. Note: There are computers that have been computing the number pi for a long time and there has been no end yet. The numbers just keep going on and on and there is no rhyme reason or pattern to it.
Who were the first known people to value pi?
People from ancient civilizations knew about the value of pi but as it was then as it is now the exact value of pi has never been conclusively found because it is an irrational number.
What is the history of pi?
pi has been around for as long as we have had written records.Its approximate estimated value of Pi up to 5 decimal places is 3.14159 .Archimedes was the first person to estimate the correct value of pi
What is the whole pi?
Pi has been calculated to over two trillion decimal places. I won't live long enough to type all of them.
What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle when the diameter is known?

Who discovered pi first?
It is not known exactly who first discovered Pi. It has been used for over 4,000 years and dates back to the times of ancient Egyptians.
