About This Item
Synopsis
A History of π is a 1971 non-fiction book by physicist Petr Beckmann that presents a layman's introduction to the concept of the mathematical constant Pi. Beckmann was a Czechoslovakian who fled the Communist regime to come to the United States; his dislike of authority gives A History of π a style that belies its dry title.
