This document provides a history of the number Pi from ancient civilizations to modern times. It discusses how Pi was conceptualized and calculated in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and among ancient Greek mathematicians like Archimedes. It then covers the stagnation of math during the Middle Ages, followed by advances during the Renaissance made by mathematicians like Viete and Ludolf van Ceulen. The 18th and 19th centuries saw more accurate calculations of Pi. In the 20th century, computers were used to calculate Pi to increasing levels of precision. The document concludes by noting modern applications of Pi in fields like computing and its cultural significance.
The number π is a mathematical constant. Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day date format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of 휋. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.
Using pi, it can measure things like ocean wave, light waves, sound waves, river bends, radioactive particle distribution and probability like the distribution of pennies, the grid of nails and mountains by using a series of circles.

Science and contribution of mathematics in its developmentFernando Alcoforado
Mathematics is the science of logical reasoning that has its development linked to research, interest in discovering the new and investigate highly complex situations. The escalation of Mathematics began in ancient times when it was aroused the interest by the calculations and numbers according to the need of man to relate the natural events to their daily lives. Today, Mathematics is the most important science of the modern world because it is present in all scientific areas.

The role mathematics has played in changing the world has been very much underplayed. This slide was made with intention to show the inventions of some of the greatest mathematicians who have graced the surface of this Earth
Earlier a place value notation number system had evolved over a leng.pdfbrijmote
Earlier a place value notation number system had evolved over a lengthy period with a number
base of 60. It allowed arbitrarily large numbers and fractions to be represented and so proved to
be the foundation of more high powered mathematical development.
Number problems such as that of the Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) with a2+b2 = c2 were studied
from at least 1700 BC. Systems of linear equations were studied in the context of solving number
problems. Quadratic equations were also studied and these examples led to a type of numerical
algebra.
Geometric problems relating to similar figures, area and volume were also studied and values
obtained for π.
The Babylonian basis of mathematics was inherited by the Greeks and independent development
by the Greeks began from around 450 BC. Zeno of Elea\'s paradoxes led to the atomic theory of
Democritus. A more precise formulation of concepts led to the realisation that the rational
numbers did not suffice to measure all lengths. A geometric formulation of irrational numbers
arose. Studies of area led to a form of integration.
The theory of conic sections shows a high point in pure mathematical study by Apollonius.
Further mathematical discoveries were driven by the astronomy, for example the study of
trigonometry.
The major Greek progress in mathematics was from 300 BC to 200 AD. After this time progress
continued in Islamic countries. Mathematics flourished in particular in Iran, Syria and India. This
work did not match the progress made by the Greeks but in addition to the Islamic progress, it
did preserve Greek mathematics. From about the 11th Century Adelard of Bath, then later
Fibonacci, brought this Islamic mathematics and its knowledge of Greek mathematics back into
Europe.
Major progress in mathematics in Europe began again at the beginning of the 16th Century with
Pacioli, then Cardan, Tartaglia and Ferrari with the algebraic solution of cubic and quartic
equations. Copernicus and Galileo revolutionised the applications of mathematics to the study of
the universe.
The progress in algebra had a major psychological effect and enthusiasm for mathematical
research, in particular research in algebra, spread from Italy to Stevin in Belgium and Viète in
France.
The 17th Century saw Napier, Briggs and others greatly extend the power of mathematics as a
calculatory science with his discovery of logarithms. Cavalieri made progress towards the
calculus with his infinitesimal methods and Descartes added the power of algebraic methods to
geometry.
Progress towards the calculus continued with Fermat, who, together with Pascal, began the
mathematical study of probability. However the calculus was to be the topic of most significance
to evolve in the 17th Century.
Newton, building on the work of many earlier mathematicians such as his teacher Barrow,
developed the calculus into a tool to push forward the study of nature. His work contained a
wealth of new discoveries showing the interaction between mathemat.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. what is actuallyπ?
Number Pi is an irrational number so it can't be expressed by a mathematical fraction. In basic
problems we can use the fraction 22/7 or more exact 335/13.
A different name for Pi is Ludolf‘s number – named by a Dutch mathematician Ludolafa von
Ceulena.
He was the first who calculated π for 35 decimal places.
4. E G Y P T
We can find some mathematical discoveries even in the
Egyptian civilization.
They used to write with hieroglyphics onto roll paper
(papyrus).
The most important discovery was Rhind's (Ahmos's)
papyrus, which was discovered in Thebes in the middle of
the 19. Century. It includes a collection of 87 mathematical
problems. Because of that we know that Egyptians
handled algebra and geometry perfectly.
5. E G Y P T
Rhind's papyrus includes even the first calculations of area of a circle and because of
That, Egyptian thought that the value of πis 3,1605. Egyptians were also thinking that circle can
be inscribed in a square.
7. M E S O P O T A M I A
One of the oldest Babylonian charts relating to geometry of circles is called YBC7302. There‘s a
diagram of a perfect circle and three figures. Above the diagram there‘s number 3 (perimeter), 9 (32
)
and inside of the circle there‘
8. M E S O P O T A M I A
Thanks to the simple Babylonian calculations it becomes obvious that Babylonians thought that the
value of Pi was 3.
9. C H I N A
Already around the year 200 AD, the major Chinese work, entitled "Mathematics in nine books„ was
created, filling a comparable role, same as the European Euclid‘s collection („Elements„).
10. C H I N A
Thanks to an educated chieftain named Wang Fan, the value of Pi was already known to be
approximately 3.15555. Later on, Chinese knowledge expanded with Liu Hui, who gave us a more exact
value, that is 3.14159.
11. A N C I E N T G R E E C E
Ve starověkém Řecku hrál největší roli Archimédes. Ten vypočítal číslo pí pomoci vepsaných a
opsaných mnohoúhelníků. Původně měly mnohoúhelníky 12 stran, později 24, 48 a 96… Dostal tak pro
pí horní a dolní hranici.
The major mathematician in ancient Greece was Archimedes who calculated the number thanks to
inscribed and circumscribed polygons. Originally, the polygons had 12 sides, then 24, 48, 96… And
Archimedes got to the upper and lower limits.
12. A N C I E N T G R E E C E
Archimedes‘ most important works include: The Method, On Spirals, Measurement of a Circle,
Quadrature of the Parabola, Conoids and Spheroids, On Spheres and Cylinders,…

13. M I D D L E A G E S
Middle Ages were characterized by the "dark interim" between Graeco-Roman medieval and modern
period. The beginning of the Middle Ages, is generally considered to be the fall of Rome in 476 AD and
the end date is considered to be the year 1492nd
The term Middle Ages was first used by the Renaissance thinkers in the late fifteenth century.
14. M I D D L E A G E S
The Middle Ages was a period of significant
cultural decline.
All of the scientific theories were declined by the
church and said to be the devil‘s work.
Because of the church a lot of eminent
mathematicians were burned alive, including
Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei, …
15. M I D D L E A G E S
It is no wonder that mathematics registered only a small progress during these ages. Until the
Renaissance, Europe's math knowledge was roughly the same as the Babylonians‘ 2000 years ago.
The history of number Pi wasn‘t an exception as there wasn‘t accomplished any major improvement in
this area.
That was until the year 1593 when Viete discovered the infinite product of nested radicals.
16. Leonardo z Pisy- FIBONACCI (around 1170 - 1250)
can be seen as the most notable mathematician of the Middle Ages. His work wasn‘t outdone until the
Middle Ages – Modern ages turn.
M I D D L E A G E S
17. M I D D L E A G E S
Leonardo‘s book Practica geometriae is also partly
dedicated to geometric problems. This file is divided
into 3 section. The third part mainly deals with the
„measurement of figures“ (e.g. triangle, square,
rectangle, polygon and circle). There‘s also a general
guidance on how to calculate the perimeter and the
area of a circle plus a specific formula for a circle that
is 14 in diameter. Pi is used in the form of 22/7.
18. T H E B E G I N N I N G O F T H E R E N A I S S A N C E
It was the most progressive coup the humanity experienced
so far. Renaissance is saturated with discoveries leading to
the refinement of mathematical methods.
During this time period the number π was mainly associated
with the need of accurate numerical values of constants.
In addition to the Indo-Arabic numerals and decimal fractions
there were another two means of numerical calculations,
namely trigonometric functions and logarithms.
19. T H E B E G I N N I N G O F T H E R E N A I S S A N C E
Francois Viète (1540 - 1603) significantly contributed to
the development of modern algebra by adding lots of new
terminological words, some of which, such as ‚negative‘ or
‚coefficient‘ persisted to modern age. Applying Archimedes'
method he calculated π (using a regular 392,216-square)
accurately up to nine decimal places. Later on he expressed
π as an infinite product. The process was that he put the
area of a polygon with n sides to the area of a polygon with
2n sides.
20. T H E B E G I N N I N G O F T H E R E N A I S S A N C E
Ludolf van Ceulen (1540 - 1610)
In 1596, he published his article Van den Circkel with the
accurate value of π up to 20 decimal places. The paper ends
with: "Whoever wants to, can go even further." And his
work (‚De Aritmetische en Geometrische fondamenten‘)
accurately indicates the value of π even up to 35 digits. His
never ending hunt for numbers made an impression on the
Germans thus they began to call π „The Ludolf‘s number".
21. T H E B E G I N N I N G O F T H E R E N A I S S A N C E
James Gregory (1638 - 1675)
One of the very important discoveries were the arctg
series.Gregory realized that the area under
the curve 1 / (1 + x ^ 2) in the interval (0, x) is the arctan x.
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
He found the converging series for π. He determined a
method of how to calculate the derivative variables and vice
versa and how to find the integral of the function.

Thanks to this ralation, π
was refined to 707 decimal places.

- he has also proved that e (the base of natural
logarithms) is transcendental.

The technical revolution has helped π to unroll even further.
Eventually, people started to realize that they don‘t need to limit themselves by using only pen and
paper to work with numbers and so the world began operating computers.

The last person to calculate Pi on paper and with no technical help is Ferguson.
In 1946 he publishes this number calculated up to 620 decimal places.
And additionally in 1947 (this time using a desktop calculator) he correctly forecasts Pi to 808 digits.

32. Today
Today there isn't any mathematical fild which doesn't use this number. We use number Pi in
geometry, algebra and mathematics analysis. And as a consequence number Pi becomes more
important. With the arrival of modern technology it became obvious that number Pi isn't just in
mathematical world. Computers are dependant on π.
33. Today
People often ask themselves that why number π has so
many digits . In the past like in 17. and 18. Century the
mathematicians were fighting and competing amongst
each other.
Today we use number Pi if we want to test
computers. A computer passes this test if its result is
the same (several thousand digits) as in other
computers.
34. And for conclusion some playthings
Number of letters in the word gives us the value of number Pi.
