How pi was almost 6.283185…

in #mathematics6 years ago (edited)

Interesting video on why π is 3.1315926… and not 6.283185… and on which mathematician is to blame.

Happy pi day! Did you know that in some of his notes, Euler used the symbol pi to represent 6.28… before the more familiar 3.14… took off as a standard?
