Pi isn't a number, you thick Berks. It is a ratio.

It's a transcendental number.

Actually you are all right.

Pi is a constant, a ratio, an irrational number, and a trancendental number.

So stop arguing

I thought Pi was a number, but Phi was a ratio?

It's the ratio of the circumference to diameter of a circle.

Its also the circumference of a circle of diameter 1.

I.e. a number.

I liked the "Pi's only uses are theoretical" comment :eek:

I understand why today was mentioned, but are we going to get special days for the other equally important constants? 0, 1, "i" and "e" are just as fundamental (although "i" isn't really on show in every day life as much as the others)
Nic Brough, London, UK

What day does he propose should be i day?

(for those that don't know i = sqrt(-1) which is an imaginary number)

If he's using the American date system, it makes sense.

In the UK system, that'd be 8/19.

Make sense now?
