Piscine Molitor Patel developed his own new nickname in order to avoid being called 'Pissing' by his classmates and teachers. He decides to go by "Pi", and is careful to establish this in each of his classes by writing "π= 3.14" on the chalkboard.
Our protagonist's self-determined name is significant. Surely its mathematical correlation reveals secrets about his character.
I turned to wikipedia to better understand what the mathematical symbol of Pi is all about. Apparently it's "irrational" and "transcendental". It is a continuous sequence of numbers that is connected to the circle.
The complexity of the mathematical term reveals the multi-dimensional, complex character of Pi. His world is sometimes irrational. He is difficult to understand, and seems beyond the comprehension of others. I think this nickname is fitting.
