The remarkable Swiss mathematician and teacher responsible for instituting the use of the symbol for pi (π) in mathematical notation was Leonhard Euler. He introduced this symbol in the 18th century, specifically in his work published in 1737. Euler's use of π helped standardize the representation of the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which is fundamental in mathematics. His contributions to various fields of mathematics have left a lasting legacy.
Mr. Euler
The Swiss mathematician and teacher Leonhard Euler is credited with popularizing the use of the symbol π (pi) in mathematical notation. He introduced this notation in the 18th century, specifically in his work "Introductio in analysin infinitorum" published in 1748. Euler's use of π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter has since become a standard in mathematics.
LEONHARD EULER was his name and Pi was his game... he was one of the best mathematicians of all time!
