When the number π is being blessed today as a symbol of global recognition that few remember that she was once addicted to geometry, particularly chained to the circle (until she gained her freedom thanks to her contributions to other branches of mathematics), and suffered centuries-long depression as mathematicians vied to assign her the best approximate value based on their methods of computation.
From her early humble days in Greece in the hands of Archimedes, when they’re trying to determine a good approximation for her, the number π has hitherto remained a constant of choice among the mathematical brethren, who hope that the discovery of pi plus secrets would help advance their career and achieve mathematical fame or immortality.

Get the Pi Plus mug.All the falsehoods, white lies, or fake news about the number π that conspiracy-minded Trumpublicans and QAnonists share on social media to their tribes, most of whom are ladle-fed with daily Fox News misinformation—for example, the googolth digit of π is the biblical value of 3; ET sent an apocalyptic message to earthlings on Pi Day via a Mar-a-Lago resort’s terminal.

Unlike demonic apparitions that petrify even diehard Proud Boys “patriots,” pi apparitions are welcomed by both the mathematical brethren and the numerological fraternity.

Get the Pi Swing mug.When an oft-semi-innumerate lay public realize that the number π has so much more to offer in terms of mathematical beauty or metamathematics (or mathematical philosophy), which allows them to experience sporadic aha moments, other than what they had boringly learned about the constant in school.
Going by the increasing number of pop math titles on pi published by math educators of different nationalities in different places, it can be arguably posited that there is presently a post-pandemic pi awakening sweeping the planet, much to the delight of both recreational and amateur mathematicians.
