Someone who is prone to coining new words or phrases on or about the number π once their mind’s eye leads them to see how an apparently unrelated idea or concept within or outside math could be linked to the most famous constant in mathematics.
While writing the manuscript for “Never Write a Math Book Without π,” Ian has been struck with pi syndrome since the start of the pandemic.

When the hourly or daily point swings for certain volatile stocks or cryptocurrencies appear to follow the digits of the irrational number π.
Since the Covid-19 outbreak, superstitious speculators who’ve witnessed a number of pi swings wonder whether there could be some numerological or paranormal explanation to that perceived phenomenon.

When the frequency of the number π gracing the pages of reputable math journals took a dive during the pandemic, when both male and female mathematicians and math educators worldwide, working from home, felt half-productive or fell sick from Covid-19.
Guesstimate how many pure mathematicians globally had some mental health issues during the pi lockdown in 2020–2021.

pi = approximately 3.14
therefore, when the clock shows 3:14, it is Pi Time!
An excellent time to eat pie.

A person fascinated with the decimal expansion of pi (3.14...)
It would take a Pi-Head to know how far pi has been expanded by today's super computers

When the number π uses its celebrity status in popular culture to push other mathematical constants or beloved numbers around so that they remain out of sight to the lay public, who might otherwise discover their hidden beautiful numerical or geometric properties.
Some numerical rebels like 0, √2, e, i, and 𝛷 have ganged together to protest against pi’s irrationality—they wanted π to be censored for its bullying behaviors and condescending attitudes vis-à-vis fellow mathematical constants and geometric figures.
