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 Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant Ï. Pi Day is observed on March 14 since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of Ï. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day. Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22, since the fraction 22â7 is a common approximation of Ï, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes.
