Hmmm. I think you may have encountered a problem in series and sequences. I seem to remember sqrt(pi) being expressible as a series.

Pi is an irrational (and transcendental) number, so it is impossible to express it as a fraction or a finite decimal. If you can be more specific as to what you're looking for . . .

The correct answer (according to my trig and calc teachers)

radical sign pi

"what's wrong with you? all pies are round and most are not made from roots!"

How 'bout Sweet Potato Pi, that's a root, of something.

Hey, why don't you ask a Blonde (with black roots)? :-)

Hey! I'm a mathematician (at least I play one on TV).

Actually, the series I was thinking of gives (pi^2)/6. There really is no answer to "what is the square root of pi". The only interesting place that that number shows up is in the formula for the Bell Curve.

North Pole. No kidding! There's a 1-1 correspondence between all points on the infinite plane and all points on the surface of a sphere -- minus the North Pole. It's infinity.

For all practical purposes Pi = 3.14

A closer practical number is 22/7 =3.1428571

Square root of 3.14 =1.772

Square root of 3.1428571 = 1.7728105

It would be unusual to need it any closer than either of the above.

Well, that equation is correct . . .
