While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

Ramanujan’s century-old pi formula is finding new relevance in modern physics, with scientists linking his mathematics to conformal field theories and black hole studies, revealing how ancient number ...

The number pi (π) appears in the most unlikely places. It can be found in circles, of course—as well as in pendulums, springs and river bends. This everyday number is linked to transcendental ...

Math teacher Marcus Hung squinted in mock concentration. "3.1415," he said before pausing dramatically and then smiling. "That's about it." Reciting the digits of the irrational number pi is not his ...

Math enthusiasts around the world, from college kids to rocket scientists, celebrate Pi Day on Thursday, which is March 14 or 3/14 — the first three digits of an infinite number with many practical ...

While most people associate the mathematical constant π (pi) with arcs and circles, mathematicians are accustomed to seeing it in a variety of fields. But two University of Rochester scientists were ...
