Geocache Description:


Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. This is true for any and every circle. 

Archimedes estimated pi to be approximately 22/7. Centuries and centuries later in 1706, William Jones first used the symbol π. It was then popularized around 1737 by Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician. It has been used to represent pi ever since. Today, pi can be calculated to over 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) digits. Only 39 of these digits are needed to accurately calculate the volume of the universe.

Pi is an infinite number, and with over a trillion digits known, it is said to contain every possible number sequence there is.
