Happy Pi Day from Annex Engineering Group! A few fun facts about pi:

The Babylonians calculated pi as 3.125. Ancient Chinese mathematicians rounded to 3. The ancient Egyptians estimated the ratio to be (16/9)^2 or ~3.16. Greek Mathematician Archimedes determined the value to be greater than 223/71 and less than 22/7.

Until recent history, there was no universal name or symbol for the number. In 1647, English mathematician William Oughtred began calling it pi in his publication Clavis Mathematicae. Welsh mathematician William Jones, a friend of Sir Isaac Newton, adopted it in 1706. It saw widespread use after it was popularized by Leonhard Euler in 1737.

The reason for adopting the Greek letter pi for this mathematical constant comes from it being the first letter of the word perimetros, meaning perimeter or circumference.

Using modern technology, pi has been calculated to 31,000,000,000,000 digits, but only about the first 39 are required to perform calculations about the observable universe with virtually no error.
