Oh, number Pi
For circle lengths unbending.

Pi Ponderings
Did you know that:
“0” is the only digit that does not appear in the
first 32 digits of pi?
The earliest known reference to pi is in a Middle
Kingdom papyrus scroll, written around 1650
B.C. by the scribe Ahmes.
The millionth digit of pi is 1.
William Jones first gave the Greek letter “pi” its
current mathematical definition in 1706.
Pi Ponderings continued
In 1610, German Ludolph van Ceulen
completed his calculation of pi to 35
decimal places. This approximation was
engraved on his tombstone, and pi is still
referred to in Germany as the Ludolphine
number.
The digit 7 occurs 7 times in the first 99
digits of pi!
