Pi Digits Record: Schoolboy remembers record-breaking PI figures: Here is what children should know about this magical number |

For Alberto Davila Aragon Von Bristol, Great Britain, was one of the unforgettable days for him on this PI day. The 10 -year -old school boy remembered how he won the Pi Digits competition in his school in March 2024, which made him world record holder for most decimal positions from PI in one minute. “This year a 10-year-old Memory Master presented a new world record for the decimalest places that Pi is reminiscent of one minute, with impressive 280” Guinness world record said in an official explanation at PI Day on March 14th.
Alberto thanked his parents, who helped him organize the event, and said: “I love school and I am also a great student – according to my teachers only a bit talkative!” His parents got in touch with the Bristol University in the search of a mathematician, whereby the local sports clubs were looking for experienced timekeepers and a professional witness in search of singers and music lovers.

What is Pi and why is it important in mathematics?

Pi (π) is a Mathematical constant This is the ratio of the scope of a circle to its diameter. Its value is approximately 3.14159, but it is an irrational number, so that his decimal representative continues without repeating himself. Since PI has an infinite number of decimal places, the mathematicians are fascinated by trying to calculate and notice its digits.
It is often celebrated on the PI day (March 14th or 3/14).
Pi is also important for calculating the circumference (c = 2πr) and the area (a = πr²) of circles. PI facilitates the understanding of curved surfaces, hence the use in engineering, architecture and physics.
Pi shows itself in trigonometry, calculation and even statistics. Pi occurs in shaft movement formulas, probability distributions and complex numbers. PI is employed by engineers and physicists in the design of roller coasters, satellites and electronics.
To date, Pi is still one of the most important and fascinating numbers in mathematics.
