The constant is called “?” because “?” is the first letter of the Greek words ?????????? (periphery) and ?????????? (perimeter), probably referring to its use in the formula to find the circumference, or perimeter, of a circle.

In 1737, Euler used the symbol for pi to be equal to the ratio of the circumference to the diameter in a circle.

The value of pi with first 100 decimal places is: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445 923078164062862089986280348253421170679 .
