No, pi is non-terminating and also non-repeating. In other words, there is no pattern to the digits so pi is considered an irrational number, like the square root of two and also like the number e. The first proof that pi is irrational dates back to approximately 1770. Reference: http://www.mathpages.com/HOME/kmath313.htm http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~hr/numb/pi-irr.html
