e, i, π

Fuck: i (it could do things you can only imagine)

Marry: π (it's unending just like it's love, and it's just kinda cool)

Guy accompanying him: Please for the love of god we are on vacation do not subject any of us to more math problems

Euler: Look at these cool bridges

Euler:

The first recorded use of π as a mathematical symbol comes from the Welsh mathematician William Jones in a 1706 work called Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos in which he abbreviated the Greek περιφέρεια to its first letter: π.

He wrote: “3.14159 andc. = π”

He explained that he chose this symbol because it was the initial letter of the word ‘Periphery’ or ‘Circumference.'

However, the use of π as a standard notation for Pi was popularized by another mathematician, Leonhard Euler, who adopted it in 1737.

Euler was one of the most influential and prolific mathematicians of all time.

He used π extensively in his work on calculus, number theory, geometry, and physics.

He wrote:

“Let π denote the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference."

Since then, π has become a universal symbol for pi and one of the most recognizable and celebrated mathematical constants in the world.

William Jones, FRS (1675 – 1 July 1749) was a Welsh mathematician, most noted for his use of the symbol π (the Greek letter Pi) to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

He was a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Edmund Halley.

In November 1711, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society and later its vice-president.

Leonhard Euler (15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician, and engineer who founded the studies of graph theory and topology.

He made pioneering and influential discoveries in many other branches of mathematics, such as analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus.

He introduced much of modern mathematical terminology and notation, including the notion of a mathematical function.
