who invented pi
PBS.org - Nova Website about Pi:
1. Pi is irrational { Meaning it does not repeat itself ever ; like 1/3} and it’s transcendental { Meaning that powers of and combination of powers of pi will not give finite whole numbers } So all formulae for computing pi will be infinitely long.
2. with the devolpment of Algbera and Calculus, certain series were found to give the approximate value of pi
PI= sqr ( 6*(1 + 1/(2^2)+ 1/(3^2)+ 1/ (4^2) + 1/(5^2)…..) { sqr means Square root}
or
PI = 4*( 1- (1/3)+(1/5)-(1/7)+(1/9)- (1/11)……)
Those series take a long time to come to the value of Pi that we know Pi to be today. Which bring us to our era, when electronic computers were built, and as soon as they became avialable. Mathematican were able to comfirm those series to be the appoximate value of Pi , which are still in use today. it has been calulated the about 15 tillion decimal places and is so well known that it is use to gauged the speed and power of all supercomputers and computers that made today and in the future to come. and it being surpassed in the number of decimal places to be counted in. and it pop up in some interesting places.
