Pi as Metaphor

When we apply the properties of π to life—its irrational and unpredictable character, and its intimate yet shallow connections with other constants—we see parallels to how humans conduct themselves toward others, publicly and privately.

Like water applied metaphorically to life, pi as metaphor exposes the constant’s follies and peculiarities vis-à-vis other numbers—keeping her perpetually relevant to mathematicians and educators.
