Pi is an irrational number because it does not repeat any digits in a specified sequence, and it
does not end (so far as we know!). The value of Pi is considered infinite.
Pi is the ratio of the distance around the outside of a circle to the distance across the circle going
through the center.
Pi is also a Greek symbol, part of the Greek alphabet, often used on college and university
campuses.
Pi is considered a CONSTANT value because it does not change regardless of the size of the
circles from which it is determined.
To recognize the importance of Pi, EXTRA CREDIT points will be rewarded (added to next quiz)
