  • π constant of archimède.

Does anyone know how they discovered the π constant(π=3.14).
Let's start from the beginning as I know they considered a circle with x ratio then measured the circumference (you can do it by by forming a circle with a rope then cutting it and measuring it). Then then they discovered this relation: C/D=C/2r=π (where C is circumference D is diameter and r is ratio). Thats why we use the relation: C=2.r.π=D.π

They first started with circles, then they started making the circles bigger so that the precision of pi increases, the they created converging sequences that will lead to pi, first by hand and than by computer that made the process very fast, they are now on more than 50 billion digits of pi
I heard that in China they made a machine that discovered a very big amount of π's first digits.

That's a supercomputer...you could calculate PI digits on your PC too...use SuperPI or QuickPI, try them both, see what you get.
Pi and the logarithmic constants are things that amaze anyone who thinks deeply about them.

They exist yet they are non-ending numbers!

Is it God or evolution? What do you think?
