A new study finds that a century-old infinite series for calculating π discovered by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan can be applied in other corners of physics. The study explained that ...

March 14, 15:09:02. This date and time correspond to the first six decimal places of pi (π), the infinitely long number that begins ‘3.141592…’. It was created to commemorate ‘Pi Day (π-day)’. Pi ...
