Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter, usually written as π.

Data , who was sharing amusing anecdotes with Lwaxana Troi and Jean-Luc Picard in late 2365, explained how he once used the square root of pi and multiplied it by to accurately calculate the distance between the Omicron system and and the Crab Nebula. (TNG: "Manhunt")
