Pi \Pi\ (p[imac]), n. [Gr. pi^.]
   1. A Greek letter ([Pi], [pi]) corresponding to the Roman
      letter {P}.

   2. Specif.: (Math.) The letter [Pi], [pi], as used to denote
      the number or quotient approximately expressing the ratio
      of the circumference of a circle to its diameter; also,
      the quotient or the ratio itself. The value of the
      quotient pi, to eight decimal places, is 3.14159265. The
      quotient pi cannot be expressed as a root of an algebraic
      equation; and from this fact follows the impossibility of
      the quadrature of the circle by purely algebraic
      processes, or by the aid of a ruler and compass.

Pi \Pi\, n. [See {Pica}, {Pie} magpie, service-book.] (Print.)
   A mass of type confusedly mixed or unsorted. [Written also
   {pie}.]

Pi \Pi\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Pied}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Pieing}.]
   (Print.)
   To put into a mixed and disordered condition, as type; to mix
   and disarrange the type of; as, to pi a form. [Written also
   {pie}.]

PI
     
        An interface between {Prolog} {application program}s and the
        {X Window System} that aims to be independent from the
        {Prolog} {engine}, provided that it has a {Quintus} {foreign
        function} interface (e.g. {SICStus} and {YAP}).  It is mostly
        written in {Prolog} and is divided in two libraries: Edipo -
        the lower level interface to the {Xlib} functions; and
        Ytoolkit - the higher level user interface toolkit.
