The number Pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028 (and many more 🙂  Numberphile takes us through the beauty of the number with data visualisation.  Most scientists are happy with scatterplots and boring black and white boring graphs.  If we want to communicate data to the public we want it to be enjoyable.  And the more we can show people from all walks of life the beauty of science the better.

Martin Krzywinski has made some very artistic works with numbers and the randomness of Pi.  One of his diagrams is actually associating one color for each digit of Pi and then taking circles of those colors and printing them on a piece of paper.

See what he finds in the patterns in the video on page 2
