Pi can be calculated using a random sample of darts thrown at a square and circle target.

Happy Pi Day! Here's how you can empirically determine the value of this well-known mathematical constant.

The idea with this less shocking build is to estimate the value of pi using the ratio of the area of a square sensor to a circular one.

Swiss researchers said on Monday they had calculated the mathematical constant pi to a new world-record level of exactitude.

Researchers set a new record for calculating digits of pi: 62.8 trillion decimals. It sounds impressive, but we asked a mathematician why we should care.

The mathematical constant "pi" represents the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter. If your business needs to perform geometric calculations, such as calculating the area of new ...

Swiss scientists have calculated the mathematical constant pi to a new world-record of 62.8 trillion figures using a supercomputer. Pi, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its ...

Google devs have calculated pi to a record 100 trillion digits. The feat's practical benefits pale next to the promotional ones.

Google breaks record for calculating digits of pi The web giant has announced the numbers of pi to 31,415,926,535,897 decimal places, setting a new world record.

The number represented by pi (π) is used in calculations whenever something round (or nearly so) is involved, such as for circles, spheres, cylinders, cones and ellipses. Its value is necessary ...
