How come anti-pi isn't used more often?

Anti-pi is 0.31830988618 which is diameter over circumference.

Wouldn't it be just as significant as regular pi?

That's just 1/?, there's no need for another named number.

So do you just write 1/pi whenever needed? And not writing anti-pi instead I thought you math folks like to make things shorter.

Just write

P~ or something instead of 1 over pi

Mathematicians really hate memorizing constants. The fewer constants, the better.
