pi

     

Pi or π is a mathematical constant which represents the ratio of any circle's circumference to its iameter in Euclidean geometry, which is the same as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. Pi is one of the most important mathematical constants: many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve π.
