Pi or π is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. In the above animation the circle has a diameter of 1 giving it a circumference of π. The rolling shows the distance a point moves linearly in one revolution of the circle, which is equal to its circumference. Pi is an irrational number and so can not be expressed as the ratio of two integer numbers; the decimal expansion of pi is 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 to 50 decimal places.
