Pi

The symbol for pi looks a lot like a lower-case n, as evidenced by the discussion in the problem queue for "Who Ordered the Pi?". Perhaps italicizing and/or switching to a different font when someone clicks the pi button would make it more obvious?

Re: Pi

I think switching to a different font will do. So that the two vertical lines and the bar on top of them is clear and anyone will then understand that it is not 'n' but 'pi'π

Re: Pi

In the above post of mine I have posted 'n' and 'pi' alternately.

Re: Pi

ummm no it isn't tim. Pi (from what i understand) is a relation between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. pi is an irrational number and it never has an end. by is approximetely = 7/22 i believe

Re: Pi

How about 22/7?

Or better yet, 355/113.

Re: Pi

Or how about 31416/10000? (Which equals 3927/1250)

It cant be expressed at all that way.

Re: Pi

Alan, I think Pi is equal to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is therefore equal to 22/7 and not 7/22.
