6. History of Pie
The French mathematician Francois Vieta (1540-
1603), the first mathematician to us symbolic
notation for known as (constants) and unknowns
discovered the first direct formula for the
calculation of π.
π2=112√12+1212√√12+√1212+1212...√√π2=11212+1
21212+1212+1212...
The Ancient Greek math value of
pimatician Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BC) is
the first to calculate an accurate estimation.
Sulva Sutra also gave methods of constructing a
square whose area equals the area of a given
circle. The construction involved approximating π
the value used is 3.088,which is quite closer to the
real value of π.

7. History of Pi
The number π is a mathematical constant,
the ratio of a circle's circumference to
its diameter, commonly approximated as
3.14159. It has been represented by the
Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th
century, though it is also sometimes
spelled out as "pi“.

8. History of Pi
Being an irrational number, π cannot be
expressed exactly as
a fraction (equivalently, its decimal
representation never ends and
never settles into a permanent repeating
pattern). Still, fractions such as 22/7 and
other rational numbers are commonly used
to approximate π. The digits appear to be
randomly distributed; however, to date, no
proof of this has been discovered.

10. History of Pi
Throughout the history of mathematics, one of
the most enduring challenges has been the
calculation of the ratio between a circle's
circumference and diameter, which has come to
be known by the Greek letter pi. We will probably
never know who first discovered that the ratio
between a circle's circumference and diameter is
constant, nor will we ever know who first tried to
calculate this ratio. The word literally means
"rope-stretchers" or "rope-fasteners.“

11. History of Pi
The misinterpretation is that these men
were stretching ropes in order to calculate
circles, while they were actually making
measurements in order to mark the property
limits and areas for temples, according to a
famous Egyptian piece of papyrus gives us
another ancient estimation for pi.
