Some numbers are like superheroes, they show up in the most unexpected places. Like pi, which is the number you get when you divide a circle's circumference by its diameter. It shows up everywhere: in wheels, waves, even how your heartbeat works! Or take phi, another special number that helps describe the perfect proportions in nature and art.
Examples
- A pizza slice has a curve that follows pi
- Sunflowers grow with spirals based on phi
- The rhythm of your heartbeat uses numbers like pi
