		The program defines pi as the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle, and shows how pi appears in a variety of formulas, many of which have nothing to do with circles.
		After discussing the early history of pi, the program invokes similarity to explain why the ratio of circumference to diameter is the same for all circles, regardless of size.
		This ratio, a fundamental constant of nature, is denoted by the Greek letter pi, so that 2 pi r represents the circumference of a circle of radius r.
