Think back to your high school geometry class; Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.\u00a0Pi is approximately 3.14159, but has been calculated to over two trillion digits, it goes on infinitely without repeating or becoming a pattern. Science would not exist without\u00a0Pi.\u00a0\u00a0Mathematics, statistics, engineering, geography, geology, computer science, etc. all rely on Pi.<\/p>\n
