In mathematics Pie refers to the value of 22/7 or 3.14 (infinite) and actually denotes the ratio of a circle's overall circumference in relation to it's overall diameter.
Many ancient civilizations not only had knowledge but also mastered the use of the Pie due to practical reasons such as in the building of tombs, buildings and towns.
The earliest known mention can be found in Chinese Ancient texts where the Pie was calculated to the accuracy of over 7 decimal points and later in Indian texts who also calculated pie to 5 decimal points.
However, the most famous and well calculated information comes from the Greek mathematician Archemidies who's research and workers were accepted by scientists for the next 1,000 years.
