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.
Fun Holiday â Pi Day. March 14 is Pi Day. It is a day to celebrate the mathematical constant pi (Ï) and to eat lots of pie. Celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of Ï (3.14), Pi Day was founded by Physicist Larry Shaw in 1988.
