- Description
- The desire to understand π, the challenge, and originally the need, to calculate ever more accurate values of π, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, has challenged mathematicians–great and less great—for many many centuries. Recently, π has provided compelling examples of computational mathematics. It is also part of both mathematical culture and of the popular imagination.
