Pi-Greek

Authors: Rolando Zucchini

This paper reports the most significant studies on the knowledge of Pi-Greek. The number that has stimulated mathematicians throughout the centuries, from Archimedes to Descartes to Euler. It was the numerous attempts to prove the squaring of the circle that led to increasingly precise approximations of Pi. The proofs continued even after the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, in 1775, abandoned examining the many alleged "solutions" to this problem. The irrationality of π was demonstrated by Ferdinand von Lindemann in 1882. This article is mainly a historical research on the number Pi-Greek.
