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 ...

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science have reported that they have accidentally discovered a new way to express pi (pi) while studying the behavior of high-energy particles. The new formula ...

The number pi (π) appears in the most unlikely places. It can be found in circles, of course—as well as in pendulums, springs and river bends. This everyday number is linked to transcendental ...
