Pie is a name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. π is approximately equal to 3.14159 in the usual decimal positional notation. Pie is an irrational number . Pie was founded by Archimedes in 1761 .
History In 1761, Lambert proved that Pie was irrational, that is, that it can't be written as a ratio of integer numbers. In 1882, Lindeman proved that Pie was transcendental, that is , Pie is not the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficients. This discovery proved that a circle can't be squared. many mathematicians faced this at that time " squaring a circle ”.
Calculating Pie. Pie is known to be an irrational number it means that the digits never end or repeat in any known way. In 1949, a computer calculated 2,000 digits and the race was on. Millions of digits have been calculated, with the record held (as of September 1999) by a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo that calculated 206,158,430,000 digits.
