I'm allways astonished by how many function seemingly have nothing to do with circles and yet somehow a pi managed to snuck itself in
Usually when that happens there's a way to tie it back to circles, but it's not always easy to find
You could say you just go round and round hunting for it, but no matter how hard you try you just can't corner it.
Well, you could.
Not necessarily circles, but conic sections. When you take a series of a fixed exponent over a variable x, and graph it, that graph is a parabola.
A parabola is a slice through a cone. Tada, pi appears.
It makes sense if you consider that mass without outside forces forms a sphere. If you have enough atoms you get a sphere, and if you only have two they will circle eachother. Two hydrogen atoms are two spheres of neutrons and protons being circled by an electron circling eachother. It's circles all tge way down.
