When the beautiful numerical or geometric properties of the number π lures far more men than women, who long to get intimate with mathematics’s most famous constant—when rational male figures get pretty excited, with some even experiencing occasional ahas, whenever the irrational and sexy π reveals more of her hidden properties.
The masculine and feminine subtle behaviors exhibited by the number π makes math educators and recreational mathematicians quietly ask: “Is pi male or female?”
When the feline behavior of the irrational and transcendental number π, which is stubborn in revealing some of its beautiful numerical or geometric properties, clashes with its oft-canine responses, which occasionally rewards those who have loyally spent their lifetime with the beloved constant with an aha! erection.
The number π is a love-hate mathematical constant among the educated lay public, who are delighted or disgusted by its manifold numerical and geometric properties. To number addicts, is pi more dog than cat? Or is it more cat than dog? To number phobics, pi is unquestionably worse than a pandemic.
