If I had never seen any definition of $\pi$ other than continued fractions or series that converge to it, I think your comment that $\pi$ can be characterized as the area of the unit disk would have given me a much better feel for what $\pi$ is and why we care about it, as well as giving me a useful new tool for computing with $\pi$. | |

| Jan 12, 2014 at 10:20 | comment | added | Philippe Gaucher | Your question has no answer. Or that depends what you mean by intuition. What is the intuition behind the number $\pi$ for example ? It is the surface of the unit disk. So what ? Is it helpful ? Do you have a better intuition of $\pi$ after that ? | |
