Every year on March 14, the world celebrates one of the most important mathematical constants: pi.
It is a number which appears all over nature, even in places you wouldn’t expect it. It is also a number that has been known, or at least had been approximated, by civilizations for thousands of years.
Today there are still more we are discovering about this number with the help of supercomputers.
Learn more about pi and how our knowledge of it has advanced over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
