on Pi day!
An informal, quick meet and greet as we remember those scary words muttered in high school math, "Solve for Pi"
Pi is a number that relates a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, which means that it is a real number that cannot be expressed by a simple fraction. That's because pi is what mathematicians call an "infinite decimal" — after the decimal point, the digits go on forever and ever.
Students are usually introduced to the number pi as having an approximate value of 3.14 or 3.14159. Though it is an irrational number, some people use rational expressions, such as 22/7 or 333/106, to estimate pi. (These rational expressions are accurate only to a couple of decimal places.)
Mathematicians and math enthusiasts are interested in calculating pi to as many digits as possible. The record for reciting the most digits of pi belongs to Suresh Kumar Sharma of India, who recited pi to 70,030 decimal places in 2015, according to the Pi World Ranking List(opens in new tab). Meanwhile, some computer programs have calculated the value of pi to an astounding 62.8 trillion digits, Live Science previously reported. Calculations like these are often unveiled on Pi Day, a pseudo-holiday that occurs every year on March 14 (3/14).
