that somewhere in everything lies pi. In fact, stating that pi lies in everything is probably too elementary. No, MATHEMATICS lies in everything. Although it is incorrectly quoted in the Bible as being "3"
( "Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim,
Round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof,
and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about"

Old Testament, I Kings 7:23 (nearly identical to 2 Chronicles 4:2) = thirty cubits divided by ten cubits= 3)

, the mere mention of pi shows that even in religion, mathematics presides. In the Indian Koran, the number 19 is found almost every place in it's original Sanskrit scrolls. The number 19 is the Hindu "pi", and it can also be converted to the 3.14159 ratio. Even in a state of pure randomness such as the Buffon needle experiment, the rate and length of the needles that fall from one's hands always turn out to have pi describe the position of how they fell.

BUFFON'S NEEDLE (experiment)

Buffon's Needle refers to a simple Monte Carlo method for the estimation of the value of pi, 3.14159265... The idea is very simple. Suppose you have
a tabletop with a number of parallel lines drawn on it, which are equally spaced (say the spacing is 1 inch, for example).
Suppose you also have a pin or needle, which is also an inch long. If you drop the needle on the table, you will find that one of two things happens:
(1) The needle crosses or touches one of the lines, or
(2) the needle crosses no lines. The idea now is to keep dropping this needle over and over on the table, and to record the statistics.
Namely, we want to keep track of both the total number of times that the needle is randomly dropped on the table (call this N),
and the number of times that it crosses a line (call this C).
If you keep dropping the needle, eventually you will find that the number 2N/C approaches the value of pi! - http://www.angelfire.com/wa/hu rben/buff.html
The probability on any given drop of the needle that it should cross a line is given by 2/pi. After many trials, the value of C/N, the number of crossing needles divided by the total number of needles, will approach the value of the probability.

Pi by itself has already been abused with discrimination, and with the obsession of minds all across the country. Let's start with the latter. The following is a list of all the known people in earth's history who have tried to calculate the numbers of pi :
