Few mathematical mysteries have captured the imagination as much as pi: the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. For four thousand years we have struggled with this magical number. David Blatner tells the bizarre story of pi: from Archimedes to da Vinci, from Newton to the Chudnovsky brothers (currently holed up in a Manhatten apartment calculating pi with a home-made super-computer)!
