PersonPiPi would be nowhere without people.

From those who worked a lifetime to compute it to those who spend a few hours trying to memorize it, the history of pi is just a string of stories about pi lovers themselves.

In this section, we offer several kinds of tributes to these folks:
  • Up-to-date rankings of student memorizers, and school-wide pi digit chains
  • The artists who bring the beauty of Pi to life in brilliant and beautiful ways
  • Schools who have tirelessly set the standard for color-coded pi chains
  • Memorable quotations from teachers and students around the country
  • A brief, at-a-glance glossary of people who appear in pi’s past and present (coming soon)
