PI is the basis for solving the answer to life, the universe, and everything, i.e. solve the sum 3.14 (a dot is normally taken as the multiplication sign when writing formulae of matrices & vectors) and you get 42 (clever guy Douglas Adams).
So there you have it, solve the mystery of the choice of 42, with another universal scientific conundrum - totally apt.
