No number has captured the attention and imagination of people throughout the ages as much as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is infinite and, in The Joy of Pi it proves to be infinitely intriguing. With incisive historical insight and a refreshing sense of humor, David Blatner explores the many facets of pi and humankind's fascination with it - from the ancient Egyptians to the modern-day Chudnovsky brothers, who have calculated pi to eight billion digits.

Needless arrogance
Revisado: 08-12-05
Although the historicity of PI is fascinating and well represented by this book, the occasional slams against religion (the Bible mainly) were totally out of line and uncalled for. Just write books people and keep your agenda to yourselves.
