Celebrate Pi Day With Us!
A (Very) Brief History of Pi
Archimedes of Syracuse was
th
e first mathematician to calculate pi. He used the Pythagorean Theorem
to find the area of two regular polyg
ons (the polygon inscribed within the
circle and the polygon within which the circle was circumscribed). Through
this calculation, Archimedes was able to show that pi is between 3 1/7 and 3
10/71.
The use of the Greek letter “π” to describe this number was introduced in 1706
by William Jones and was later popularized by Leonhard Euler in 1737.
