Amazing facts about Pi
1. The most recognized mathematical constant is Pi. Pi is often considered as the most intriguing and important number in all of mathematics.
2. The symbol for pi has been regularly used for the past 250 years only.
3. You can never find the true circumference or area of a circle because we can never find the true value of pi.
4. “Wolf in the Fold”, the Star Trek episode, Spock spoils the evil computer by commanding it to, compute the last digit of Pi value.
5. In the Greek alphabets, Pi is the sixteenth letter. In English p is also sixteenth letter.
6. Pi: Faith in Chaos, a fascinating movie directed by Darren Aronofsky’s won Directory Award at the 1988 Sundance Film Festival. In this movie, the main character attempts to find simple answers about Pi and drives him mad.
7. Pi, represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It can be also said as, the number of times a circle’s diameter will fit around its circumference.
8. Pi day is celebrated on March 14 every year. It represents 3.14, which is pi value. The first widely-attended pi day celebration was organized by Physicist Larry Shaw, also known as Prince of Pi, in the year 1988.
9. Pi is transcendental and irrational. It is irrational because it can’t be written as a rational simple fraction, though 22/7 is close, it is not exact. It is transcendental because it is not algebraic, it is not a non-constant polynomial equation with rational coefficients.

1. The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, an Anglo-Welsh philologist in 1706 and made popular by the mathematician Leonhard Euler.
2. Since the exact value of pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle.
3. March 14 or 3/14 is celebrated as pi day because of the first 3.14 are the first digits of pi. Many math nerds around the world love celebrating this infinitely long, never-ending number.
4. The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, Vellore, India on 21 March 2015. He was able to recite 70,000 decimal places. To maintain the sanctity of the record, Rajveer wore a blindfold throughout the duration of his recall, which took an astonishing 10 hours!
5. If you aren’t a math geek, you would be surprised to know that we can’t find the true value of pi. This is because it is an irrational number. But this makes it an interesting number as mathematicians can express π as sequences and algorithms.
6. Pi is just another weird or boring mathematical number. It is a part of Egyptian mythology. People in Egypt believed that the pyramids of Giza were built on the principles of pi. The vertical height of the pyramids have the same relationship with the perimeter of their base as is the relationship between a circle’s radius and its circumference. The pyramids are phenomenal structures in themselves being one of the seven wonders of the world and attract tourists. So having π as the core principle makes it really special for architects.
7. Although Pi day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14), the exact time for celebration is 1:59 pm so that the exact number 3.14159 can be reached.
8. Physicist Larry Shaw started 14 March as Pi day at San Francisco’s Exploratorium. There he is known as the Prince of Pi.
9. There is an entire language made on the number Pi. But how is that possible? Well, some people love pi enough to invent a dialect in which the number of letters in the successive words are the same as the digits of pi. But it is not just another nerd quirk that nobody knows about. Mike Keith wrote an entire book, called ‘Not a Wake’ in this language.
10. There are many records that show that pi was discovered a long time ago in the The Babylonians knew of pi approximately 4000 years ago. Evidence shows that Babylonians calculated pi as 3.125.
