Who said "pi" applies only to circles? What is the value of pi for a square? For a triangle? For other shapes? What about ropes wrapped around the Earth? What is the "right" value of pi for any shape? Can the value of pi change? In this little text we'll learn that playing with values of pi for shapes other than circles has surprising and beautiful good uses. All jolly mathematical fun for all ages!
