Archimedes (287-212 BC) was supreme and greatest Greek mathematician. He solved the problem of buoyancy. He established the laws of the lever. He Devised a method of displacement volumes (the Eureka formula).he Made creative war machines to fight off the Romans. He Invented calculus (although this was forgotten)

Many divide the history of Pi into three periods: The ancient period during which Pi was studied in a geometrical manner, the classical era when Pi was fully developed after the creation of calculus in the 17th century and, most recently, the age of digital computers.
pi is a mathematical formula, or 3.14159265389793238462683. it relates to the diameter and circumference of a circle. i don't know the history but im sure its somwhere!answ2. There is currently a proposal to name 2 Pi as Tau, as this aids in many calculations. Watch this space. The ratio of the perimeter to the height of Khufu's Pyramid is 2 Pi.
