The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The constant π (sometimes written pi) is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century. π is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers (such as 22/7); consequently, its decimal representation never ends and never repeats. It is a transcendental number – a number that cannot be produced with a finite sequence of algebraic operations (powers, roots, sums, etc.). The transcendence of π means that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle. The digits in the decimal representation of π appear to be random, although no proof of this supposed randomness has yet been discovered.

Are you kidding? You really have to be kidding. I will assume you are because I have tattoos of flaming skulls and barbed wire and tribal symbols yet none of these things has any bearing on my life at all.

Oh I think your flaming skulls, barbed wire, and tribal symbols have a very big effect on you...namely, your personality on-line. Abrasive, like what you wear. But, that is just one old lady's opinion....

And pi does? The number pi is not an infinite thing, but an approximation to a real physical quantity that man came up with in recent times.
What do you mean what is barbed wire? We're talking symbols here. that's all. A symbol imprinted on your skin is meaningless to anyone or anything in our whole existence....exept you.edit on 5/11/2012 by wtbengineer because: (no reason given)
