What is π
› AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER THAT HAS A NUMERICAL VALUE OF 3.14159265358979…
AND IS REPRESENTED BY THE SYMBOL π

› IT EXPRESSES THE RATIO OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE TO THE DIAMETER OF A CIRCLE

AND APPEARS IN MANY MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS

› HOW DID IT GET THE NAME “PI”? IT WAS FIRST CALLED “PI” IN 1706 BY THE WELSH

› MATHEMATICIAN WILLIAM JONES, BECAUSE PI IS THE FIRST LETTER IN THE GREEK

WORD PERIMITROS, WHICH MEANS “PERIMETER.” WHY DOES “PI” DESERVE ITS
OWN DAY? IT’S A special number
› Gokul M S
Intresting facts about π
› Π has been used by humans for thousands of years
› It is an eternal number
› PI’S DIGITS FOLLOWING THE DECIMAL POINT ARE AT RANDOM
› AMERICAN LEGISLATORS ONCE ATTEMPTED TO ROUND UP PI TO 3
› SOMEONE HAS MEMORISED PI TO 70,000 DECIMAL PLACES

Importance of π in mathematics
› Pi is an important concept that appears in all aspects of mathematics
› It is a crucial concept that helps to understand the universal truths and some
mathematical concepts
› Mostly pi values are used in concepts like trigonometry, geometry and advanced
concepts like probability, statistics, and complex numbers
› If you ask any scientist about pi, they will tell that the value of pi equal to the
decimal value 3.14159
› But when you ask a mathematician, they will tell that pi is a value which is equal to
circle circumference divided by the circle diameter
› It is a well recognized mathematical constant used all over the world
Pranav P
› In ancient times it is used as a secret code for some confidential works.
› Since a circle consisting of 360 degrees and pi is used to denote that 360 degrees of a circle and it is referred to as “ circular constant “.

Mathematics without π
› If pi did not exist, mathematical calculations and scientific formulas that use pi
would be greatly affected
› Many natural phenomena, such as circles and spheres, would not be able to be
accurately described or measured without pi
› Additionally, many engineering and architectural designs that use circles, such
as bridges and buildings, would also be impacted.

Relation of π and trigmometry
›π plays a crucial role in trigonometry

› It appears in various trigonometric formulas and identities, such as the unit

circle and the periodicity of trigonometric functions
› π is also used to convert angles between degrees and radians, the
preferred unit of measurement in trigonometry.
›Understanding the power of π allows us to solve intricate trigonometric
problems and unlock new mathematical insights

conclusion
›π, the mathematical constant, serves as an indispensable ally to trigonometry. Its
presence in trigonometric functions, formulas, and applications is undeniable.
›By understanding and harnessing the power of π, we can unlock the full
potential of trigonometry and apply it to solve complex problems in various
fields.
› Embrace the beauty and utility of π in trigonometry, and let it guide you to
new mathematical horizons.

Formulas where π is used
› The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2πr
› The area of a circle with radius r is πr2
› The volume of a sphere with radius r is 4/3πr3
› The surface area of a sphere with radius r is 4πr2

Uses of π in real life
› Electrical engineers used pi to solve problems for electrical applications
› Statisticians use pi to track population dynamics
› Medicine benefits from pi when studying the structure of the eye
› Biochemists see pi when trying to understand the structure/function of DNA
› Physicists looking into the behavior of fluid ripples see pi and use it in
their calculations
› Clock designers use pi when designing pendulums for clocks
› Aircraft designers use it to calculate areas of the skin of the aircraft

› Abishek B
› Signal processing and spectrum analysis (finding out what frequencies are in the
wave you are using) uses pi since the fundamental period of a sine wave is 2*pi.
› Navigation, such as global positioning (GPS)
› Calculating the number of death in a population
› Solving Mathematics problems in Geometry like finding the area of circle etc.
› Using π : it can measure things like ocean wave, light waves, sound waves, river
bends, radioactive particle distribution and probability like the distribution of
pennies, the grid of nails and mountains by using a series of circles.

› Abishek B
› Formulae from other branches of science also include π in some of their
important formulae, including sciences such as statistics, fractals,
thermodynamics, mechanics, cosmology, number theory, and electromagnetism.
› It's also used to measure how fast and how powerful a computer is; because
they can use it to check its accuracy and if there is any problems in its software
or hardware.
