Happy Pi Day! Isn't Pi Day one of the best holidays all year? For last year's Pi Day, I determined a value of pi without even using a circle. How can you top that? I can top it by using pi to find pi.

Pi is what’s known as an irrational number, which means that its decimal representation is both infinite and non-repeating. We’ve been using computers to calculate the digits of Pi for decades. In ...

(NBC) - Happy Pi Day! The annual celebration, held every March 14, is your chance to pay tribute to the most famous constant in math and physics: the number you get when you divide the circumference ...

The number represented by pi (π) is used in calculations whenever something round (or nearly so) is involved, such as for circles, spheres, cylinders, cones and ellipses. Its value is necessary to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – If you wanted a random number, historically you could do worse than to pick a sequence from the string of digits in pi. But Purdue University scientists now say other sources ...

Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden this week claimed a new world record for calculating the number of digits of pi—a staggering 62.8 trillion figures. By my estimate, ...

The most basic explanation of Pi is that it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter for a circle. That seems simple enough, but it turns out that Pi is an irrational number - so you can't ...

Swiss researchers said on Monday they had calculated the mathematical constant pi to a new world-record level of exactitude. The constant π is represented in this mosaic outside the Mathematics ...
