While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

Science often isn’t a bold “Eureka!,” a shout that that is loudly proclaimed after decades of painstaking research. Rather, many times, it begins with a “Huh, that’s funny,” and it ends someplace ...

A Google employee from Japan calculated the most accurate value of pi at 31 trillion digits and shattered the world record, the company announced in a blog post on Thursday, or "Pi Day." Emma Haruka ...

While most people associate the mathematical constant π (pi) with arcs and circles, mathematicians are accustomed to seeing it in a variety of fields. But two University of Rochester scientists were ...

Developers have set a new record in the endless quest to accurately calculate pi. A team led by Google Cloud’s Emma Haruka Iwao found 100 TRILLION digits of the mathematical constant — smashing the ...

It is once again Pi Day (March 14—which is like the first digits of pi: 3 and 14). Before getting into this year's celebration of pi, let me just summarize some of the most important things about this ...

This is at least my ninth year of writing about Pi Day—here is my post from 2010. Of course it's called Pi Day because the date, 3/14, is similar to the first three digits of pi (3.1415 …). At this ...

Math teacher Marcus Hung squinted in mock concentration. "3.1415," he said before pausing dramatically and then smiling. "That's about it." Reciting the digits of the irrational number pi is not his ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to ...
