What is the next number in this sequence?

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, pi

The sequence is not arbitrary. Create a mathematical function that generates this sequence.

its 36 b/c:
th pattern is like :√1=1 √4=2 √9=3 √16=4 √25=5 so the next would have to be what ever 6 square is which is 36 or it could be like
1+0=1 1+3=4 4+5=9 9+7=16 16+9=25 so the since your adding by each odd # it should be 25+11 which ='s 36
