http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
Quote:The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century though it is also sometimes spelled out as "pi" (/paɪ/).
Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction, although fractions such as 22/7 and other rational numbers are commonly used to approximate π.
What I quoted came from the first sentence of that same article. The issue is not whether it can be represented as a simple fraction (it can't) but whether it is a ratio (it is).
Pi is irrational. The golden ratio is irrational. Both are ratios.
You're wrong, and so is your source. Seriously, this is 6th grade stuff at best.
