While most people associate the mathematical constant π (pi) with arcs and circles, mathematicians are accustomed to seeing it in a variety of fields. But two University of Rochester scientists were ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 10, 2015 - In 1655 the English mathematician John Wallis published a book in which he derived a formula for pi as the product of an infinite series of ratios. Now ...

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science have reported that they have accidentally discovered a new way to express pi (pi) while studying the behavior of high-energy particles. The new formula ...

While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

I had planned for part 2 of this series about π to be about the classical area formula for the circle, but then something new came up. Well, by new I mean a new proof of something old, and it's a ...
