A History of Pi

A History of Pi | Petr Beckmann

3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

The history of pi, says the author, though a small part of the history of mathematics, is nevertheless a mirror of the history of man. Petr Beckmann holds up this mirror, giving the background of the times when pi made progress -- and also when it did not, because science was being stifled by militarism or religious fanaticism.

I read this in high school after finding it in my math teacher's shelf. It's surprisingly interesting. #piday #pi #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading
