Hejka! Narysujesz proszę Yuunov, ni wymagam ale chce zobaczyć jak to narysujesz😈😈 hehe
Yuu and Yanow after 18 h of work
Szczerze jest ok ja na pierwszy raz malowania tych dwoje:D
Aha a co do Paula i Yuu to zobaczę bo szczerze nie chcę mi się TwT 💀💀💀

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.
He is also known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory.

Mistigram: mathletes and mathemagicians alike rejoice today, setting aside their traditional rivalries in celebration of #pi, a number that "... is magic. It is a number that is infinite, universal, transcendental, and irrational." Even though the #π symbol was only first used in its current mathematical form in 1706, coined by William Jones, it is difficult to imagine the world without it -- a world of collapsed churches and crumbled bridges. This #ANSIart screen celebrating #PiDay was drawn by AdeptApril of Storm BBS.

I know everybody is excited for the ides of March tomorrow, but I just wanted to share this video for pi day, because it's lived rent free in my brain for over a decade ago. Eternal gratitude to my math teacher for showing this to our class forever ago, you truly were a rad teacher 😎🤘
