The nerdiest day of the year is officially here again: March 14, or Pi day. Yes, the day when all jokes end in 3.1415. To celebrate Pi day—the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter—in a ...

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 ...

Everybody knows the value of pi is 3.14…er, something, but how many people know where the ratio came from? Actually, the ratio came from nature—it’s the ratio between the circumference of a circle and ...

Researchers at the Swiss university Fachhochschule Graubünden claim that they’ve broken the world record for the most calculated digits of pi, a mathematical constant that describes the ratio of a ...
