Pi
The mathematical constant ? is the ratio of a circle's circumference (Greek ??????????, periphery) to its diameter and is commonly used in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The name of the Greek letter ? is pi (pronounced pie), and this spelling can be used in typographical contexts where the Greek letter is not available. ? is also known as Archimedes' constant (not to be confused with Archimedes' number) and Ludolph's number.
