My favorite mathematical holiday
- The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706.
- Since the exact value of pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle.
- The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, Vellore, India on 21 March 2015 - 70,000 digits in 9 hours 27 minutes.
