What is Pi?

“Probably no symbol in mathematics has evoked as much mystery, romanticism, misconception and human interest as the number pi”

 

~William L. Schaaf, Nature and History of Pi

Pi (often represented by the lower-case Greek letter π), one of the most well-known mathematical constants, is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.  For any circle, the distance around the edge is a little more than three times the distance across.

Typing π into a calculator and pressing ENTER will yield the result 3.141592654, not because this value is exact, but because a calculator’s display is often limited to 10 digits.  Pi is actually an irrational number (a decimal with no end and no repeating pattern) that is most often approximated with the decimal 3.14 or the fraction 22/7

Pi song 

Composed by Hyeonseok & Sohee from M5

The first note of an octave, C. Leaving C, the first note as 1, D will be 2, E will be 3, and so forth. You can see the first 13 decimals have been coordinated on the picture here (and it sounds like this). This song has been improvised and modified using the 100+ decimals of pi, and it is a true achievement experiencing the beauty and perfection of Pi, as well as how it could be used for arts.
