Pi is actually my my 3th favorite number after Avogadro's Number (6.02x10^23) and the number e (whose exponential function is the derivative of itself). Pi is normally shortened to 2 decimal places and is expressed as 3.14, though in reality it goes on into infinity (with no notable pattern). Pi is a constant that is the ratio that relates a circles circumference with its diameter. The equation that does that is Pi=C/d. No matter what the diameter is, be it a nano-meter or a kilometer, when put in the ratio with its circumference it will always give you pi! Pi has been around since the time of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians, and while their estimated value was off from the actual value, they were within 1% error of the value! It is used in every day life and is one of the most important constants that we posses, and without it, society as we know it would not exist... seriously, we would be f!@#$%!
If you want torture, you should see the Unit Circle, or commonly referred to as the Mathematical Pentagram. I shutter just thinking about it... FEAR IT!!!Pi is something they use to torture you with in math class...
