A Brief History of Ï. Pi has been known for almost 4000 yearsâbut even if we calculated the number of seconds in those 4000 years and calculated pi to that number of places, we would still only be approximating its actual value. Hereâs a brief history of finding pi:he ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet (ca. 1900â1680 BC) indicates a value of 3.125 for pi, which is a closer approximation.
Pi began being symbolized by the pi symbol (Ï) in the 1706 by the British mathematician William Jones. Jones used 3.14159 as the calculation for pi. Pi r squared. In basic mathematics, pi is used to find area and circumference of a circle. Pi is used to find area by multiplying the radius squared times pi, or. So in trying to find the area of a circle with a radius of 3 centimeters, Ï3 2 = 28.27 cm.
