Naked Pi

When the number π could no longer hide her insecurities before her fellow mathematical constants, because the pressure to appear cool in popular culture is taking a toll on her psychological well-being—when fame and popularity come with such a high price that she could lose everything if she failed to reorder her priorities.

Law of pi

In engineering, every task will take exactly 3.141592 times as long as initially anticipated. The Law of pi is therefore commonly used along project managers when they ask engineers how much time they think they need to finish their work.
Arjan: How long will it take you to finish the design of those tubes?
Vincent: about one and a half hour I think
Arjan: OK, so taking the Law of pi into account, that's gonna take you exactly 282 minutes

Not All Pi’s Are Created Equal.

Pi Calculus

When π, the world’s most arguably beloved or beautiful mathematical constant, weighs the pros and cons of revealing too little or too much about herself in order to maximize her universal appeal, while minimizing any negative publicity or fallout, in popular culture.
With fierce fellow competitors like e and 𝜙 watching her every move to outwit her, it’s no surprise that π is perpetually paranoid—pi calculus remains a necessary evil for her to maintain her competitive edge.
