    (Pi function) – the gamma function when offset to coincide with the factorial Rectangular function π ( n ) {\displaystyle \pi (n)\,\!} – the Pisano period

  4. Six nines in pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi

    A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [1] [2] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence, and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational.

  5. Pisano period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period

    If k 2 + 4 is a quadratic residue modulo p (where p > 2 and p does not divide k 2 + 4), then +, /, and / + can be expressed as integers modulo p, and thus Binet's formula can be expressed over integers modulo p, and thus the Pisano period divides the totient =, since any power (such as ) has period dividing (), as this is the order of the group ...

  6. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

    The software may be obtained from the Pi-Hacks Yahoo! forum, or from Stu's Pi page. Super PI by Kanada Laboratory [101] in the University of Tokyo is the program for Microsoft Windows for runs from 16,000 to 33,550,000 digits. It can compute one million digits in 40 minutes, two million digits in 90 minutes and four million digits in 220 ...

  8. Piphilology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piphilology

    The word is a play on the word "pi" itself and of the linguistic field of philology. There are many ways to memorize π, including the use of piems (a portmanteau, formed by combining pi and poem), which are poems that represent π in a way such that the length of each word (in letters) represents a digit. [1]
