The history of the pi symbol
The pi symbol has been around for as long as 4,000 years by mathematicians, and it started in the Babylon era. It started with trying to figure out the area of a circle. Before pi, they calculated three times the square radius of a circle which would equal 3. However, the Egyptians came back with something more precise at the value of 3.1605.
The symbol of pi was then devised by a British mathematician called William Jones in 1706. Followed by Leonhard Euler, they found that the digits do not repeat, and that is when they came to the approximation of 3.14 that is used in today's calculations.
Pi code symbol usage
Since the pi symbol has been developed, it has been used in various forms of mathematical problems. It is no longer used just for the circumference of a circle but rather for finding out the lengths of arcs, areas of ellipses, sectors, and various other curved surfaces.
Instead of having to type out the whole 3.14 digits each time a mathematician is describing pi, they now use a simple symbol: π. It makes every equation much easier and is now taught in schools and colleges worldwide.
