Kendriya Vidyalaya Laxmiposi Baripada

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number that is approximately 3.14159. The document discusses the history of pi, including early approximations by Babylonians and Egyptians. It provides facts about pi such as that it is irrational, there are no zeros in the first 31 digits, and March 14th is celebrated as Pi Day. The conclusion states that pi represents one of mathematics' enduring challenges and its complete nature remains mysterious despite over 4000 years of study.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MY SPECIAL THANKS OF GRATITUDE


TO MY TEACHER MR. PRADEEP KUMAR FOR GIVING ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS WONDERFUL PROJECT IN THE
TOPIC OF “PI THE WORLD’S MOST MYSTERIOUS
NUMBER’’.WHICH INVOLVED ME IN DOING MANY
RESEARCHERS AND ALSO I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT SO
MANY NEW THINGS
INTRODUCTIONN :-

BY THE DEFINITION PI IS THE RATIO OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE


OF A CIRCLE TO ITS DIAMETER .PI ALWAYS THE SAME
NUMBER,NO MATTER WHICH CIRCLE YOU USE TO COMPUTE
IT.
FOR THE SAKE OF USEFULNESS PEOPLE OFTEN NEED TO
APPROXIMATE PI. FOR MANY PURPOSES WE CAN USE
3.14159 BUT IF YOU WANT A BETTER APPROXIMATION YOU
CAN USE A COMPUTER TO GET IT. HERE PI TO MANY MORE
DIGITS 3.14159265358979323846
THE AREA OF A CIRCLE IS PI TIMES THE SQUARE OF THE
LENGTH OF THE RADIUS , “OR PI IS SQUARED”
TYPE OF NUMBER

-PI IS IRRATIONAL NUMBER


-IT NOT TERMINATING AND REPEATING
FORMULA OF PI:-
PI REFERS TO THE RATIO OF CIRCUMFERENCE TO THE
DIAMETER OF THE CIRCLE. SO IT’S APPROPRIATE VALUE IS
3.14159 AND OFTEN SHORTENED TO 3.14. THE DECIMAL
OF PI NEVER ENDS BECAUSE THE NUMBERS NEVER REPEAT
THEMSELVES IN A PERMANENT PATTERN. DUE TO THIS
FACT THE NUMBER REPEATS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FIND
A CIRCLE’S TRUE CIRCUMFERENCE OF AREA THE RECORD
FOR CALCULATING PI IS 5 TRILLION DIGITS ! .THE CLOSEST
FRACTION TO FIND PI IS FOUND TO BE 22/7 BUT EVEN
THIS NOT COMPLETELY ACCURATE .
THE FIRST CALCULATION OF PI WERE DONE IN THE
BABYLONIANS IN 2000 BC WHO DETERMINED IT AS
3.125. FURTHER THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CAME TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS 3.143. THEN PLATO
DETERMINED TO BE 3.146.LATER ON ISSAC NEWTOWN
WHO IS CONSIDERED TO BE CALCULUS FATHER,WAS ABLE
TO FIND PI TO 16 DECIMAL POINTS
HISTORY OF PI

PI HAS BEEN STUDIED BY HUMAN RACE FOR ALMOST


4000 YEARS. BY 2000 BC,THE BABYLONIANS ESTABLISHED
THE CONSTANT CIRCLE RATIO AS 3-1/8 OR 3.125 THE
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ARRIVED AT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
VALUE OF 3-1/7 OR 3.143
ONE OF THE EARLIEST KNOWN RECORDS OF PI WAS
WRITTEN BY AN EGYPTIAN SCRIBE NAMED (C. 1650 B.C.)
ON WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE RHIND PAPYRUS. HE
WAS OFF BY LESS THAN 1% OF THE MODERN
APPROXIMATION OF PI (3.141592)
FACTS OF PI

1.PI IS THE NUMBER OF TIMES OF A CIRCLE’S DIAMETERDAY


WILL AROUND ITS CIRCUMFERENCE
2.THERE IS NO ZERO IN FIRST 31 DIGITS OF PI
3.PI HAS 6.4 BILLION KNOWN DIGIT- IT WOULD TAKE A
PERSON APPROXIMATELY 133 YEARS TO RECITE ALL OF THEM
WITHOUT STOPPING.
4.AT POSITION 763(KNOWN AS FEYNMAN POINT) THERE
ARE SIX NINES IN A RAW
5.SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE PI CONTAINS THE ANSWER OF THE
UNIVERSE ( BUT ON SOME DAYS A SLICE OF PIE HOLDS ALL
THE ANSWERS TO THE UNIVERSE !)
6.IT TOOK NINE HOURS FOR THE MEMORIZED DIGITS OF PI
WORLD RECORD HOLDER TO RECITE OVER 44000 DIGITS
7.PI DAY(MARCH 14) IS ALSO ALBERT EINSTEIN’S BIRTHDAY
8.PI IS IRRATIONAL NUMBER.AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER IS
ONE THAT CANNOT BE EXPRESSED AS A RATIO OF
INTEGERS
9.JOHANN LAMBERT PROVED PI IS IRRATIONAL IN 1768.
10.THE SYMBOL OF PI (Π) HAS BEEN USED REGULARLY
FOR 250 YEARS
11.PI HAS BEEN STUDIED BY THE HUMAN RACE FOR 4000
YEARS
12.MANY MATHEMATICIAN CLAIM THAT IT IS MORE
CORRECT TO SAY THAT A CIRCLE HAS AN INFINITE
NUMBER OF CORNERS THAN TO VIEW A CIRCLE AS
CORNERLESS.STOP AND THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A
SECOND.
13.PI WAS FIRST CALCULATED BY ARCHIMEDES OF
SYRACUSE . HE WAS REPORTEDLY SO ENGROSSED IN HIS
WORK THAT HE DID NOT NOTICE WHEN THE ROMAN
SOLDIERS CONQUERED THE CITY OF SYRACUSE . WHEN A
ROMAN SOLDIER APPROACHED ARCHIMEDES,HE YELLED
IN GREEK “ DO NOT TOUCH MY CIRCLES!”.THE ROMAN
SOLDIERS QUICKLY CUT OFF HIS HEAD AND MOVED ON.
14.IF YOU PRINTED A BILLION DECIMAL OF PI IN
ORDINARY FONT IT WOULD STRETCH FROM NEW YORK
CITY TO KANSAS.
PI DAY

MARCH 14 IS PI DAY . IT IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE THE


MATHEMATICAL CONSTANT PI Π.
IT IS CELEBRATED IN COUNTRIES THAT FOLLOW THE
MONTH/DAY (M/DD) DATE FORMAT BECAUSE THE DIGITS
IN THE DATE , MARCH 14 OR 3/14, ARE THE FIRST THREE
DIGITS OF PI Π (3.14). PI DAY WAS FOUNDED BY THE
PHYSICIST LARRY SHAW 1988.
CONCLUSION

PI REPRESENTS ONE OF THE ENDURING CHALLENGES OF


MATHEMATICS. IT TOOK OVER 4000 YEARS OF
CONSTANT SEARCHING TO GAIN THE UNDERSTANDING
OF PI THAT HUMANITY HAS TODAY.NO MATTER HOW
GOOD PEOPLE BECOME AT CALCULATING PI . IT’S
COMPLETE MYSTERY HAS YET TO UNRAVEL.
