Pi : The first MILLION digits
What is Pi?
Pi, or π, represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Since it is a constant number, Pi will remain unchanged regardless of the size of any particular circle.
The Story of Pi
Since the antiquity, it has been known that the circumference of a circle is a little bit longer than three times its diameter. In this respect, Archimedes himself determined that Pi was approximately 22/7.
The symbol for Pi was first introduced by W. Jones in 1706 and later popularized by Leonhard Euler.
How much of Pi do we know?
Mathematicians have now discovered over 1 trillion digits past the decimal. We do believe that Pi is an infinite value without any logical pattern, so we can expect the known share of Pi to grow even more in the years to come even if no calculation require that level of precision. In fact only the 39 first digits after the decimal have found a practical use.
Memory Training : Challenge your memory
More and more people use Pi to train and challenge their memory and their cognitive aptitudes.

A book with zero haters!

A hater here.
This book only covers an infinitesimal part of π, if you expect to learn about the entirety of π look elsewhere for eternity.
I would give this book zero stars if possible. I mean, how could anyone think of writing a book like this? This doesn't even work as an introduction to π, I mean, a million digits, just that? Really? I don't know, I feel like I wasted my money.
