"... mathematicians have struggled for centuries to calculate the number accurately, leading to Pi being classified as irrational."

Mathematicians have known for centuries that pi is irrational. In 1760, Johann Heinrich Lambert was the first to prove pi is irrational. The Mathologer (Monash University mathematics professor Burkard Polster) has a YouTube animated version of Lambert's proof.
