Maple How to use the function pi in maple

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how to use the 'product' function in Maple, particularly in relation to the mathematical constant pi for a statistical mechanics assignment. The original poster expresses difficulty finding relevant help within the Maple program, as searching for "pi" only returns the numerical value rather than guidance on its use in products. A suggestion is made to use the command "product(1+1/i, i=2..6)" to illustrate the function's application. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on using Maple's functions related to mathematical operations involving pi.

or if anyone knows where i might be able to find help on this could u tell me please. I've tried the help in the maple program but it only gives me the number pi when i search pi.
 
It's (obviously) under the name 'product'.
Try this:
product(1+1/i, i=2..6);
 
thanks so much, i was searching multiplication and pi and couldn't find anything.
