Pi and its Importance in Design

• Pi is mathematical constant, the ratio of circle's circumference to its diameter.
• The mathematician Archimedes used polygons and determined that approximate value of pi is 22/7 i.e. 3.14159.

Importance of Pi in Design

John Taylor was first who proposed the idea to incorporate pi into the design of the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza.

It is also used by engineers who designs pipes, tires, tubes, utensils watches etc.

Uses of Pi

• Clock designers, when designing pendulums for clocks.
• Biochemists, when trying to understand the structure of DNA.
• Aircraft's designers, to calculate areas of the skin of the aircraft's.
• Statisticians to track population.
