Important facts about pi:
Pi (π𝜋) is an irrational, transcendental number representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately 3.14159. It is infinitely long, does not repeat, and is essential in math, science, and engineering. Used for 4,000 years, Pi appears in formulas for area and volume, from pizza pie sizes to NASA calculations.

See you on the trails!
