Hi all,
At the MathWorld page dedicated to pi, located at
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Pi.html
it is claimed that pi "crops up in all sorts of unexpected places in
mathematics [...]. For example, it occurs in [...] the distribution of
primes". Does anyone know what's the connection? Or is it a confusion
between the number pi and the prime counting function (usually denoted
by pi)?
Best regards,
Jose Carlos Santos
