A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Discover how Ramanujan's century-old pi formulas connect to modern cosmology and turbulent fluid physics in groundbreaking ...

While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his lightning-fast formulas for π in a notebook, physicists are ...

In 1914, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan made public a collection of 17 mathematical expressions for calculating pi, an iconic constant used worldwide. These formulations, compact yet highly ...

For the 30th anniversary of Pi Day, Google went there. It made a Pi-themed Google Doodle out of, yep you guess it, pie ingredients. Hilarious. SEE ALSO: Virginia Woolf gets a Google Doodle of her own ...
