Since pi is the ratio of the circumference and diameter of any circle, i can understand the presence of it in formulae for area and volume, surface area, etc etc with a circle, spere and so on. But then why would this ratio appear in such unrelated topics like Heisenberg's uncertainty, Coulumb's force of attraction/repulsion , mathematical probability, and so many other places. I see nothing related to a circle here, and yet 3.141..... is used here. Is there some connection i dont realize, or is something else more important going on? Thanks for any help in advance.
