As I am sure you know it was Pi day the other week and I found myself wondering how we know pi is constant. I decided it would be a fun problem for me to try and though I have spent a few nights awake in my bed thinking about it I cannot come up with a proof that pi is constant (although to be fair I haven't given it a lot of thought). So what is the proof? I am fluent in elementary calculus but that (and a little Linear Algebra) is the limit of my mathematical prowess (a problem which I will soon remedy). At any rate if you could keep your proof within my capabilities that would be much appreciated. If you cannot then I suppose I shall just have to be satisfied until I learn some more maths.
And for the sake of simplicity (complexity?) use pi and not tau. Thank you :)
