- 0 Comments
As some of you may know, March 14th (3/14) is internationally recognized Pi Day. π is the sixteenth letter in the Greek alphabet, but the reason most of us know it is because of it’s incredible mathematical significance. I don’t really want to inform you of the history of π as a mathematical constant, but ANCIENT mathematicians discovered that there is always a relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference, and it always comes out to be around 3. Today, we know pi to more than 1 trillion decimal places, and calculations are still going on every day using supercomputers, as are attempts to discover a more complex formula.Anyways, tomorrow is 3/14, the first 3, most commonly recognized digits of π. Buy yourself a pie, bring it into school, tell your friends, celebrate pi day however you want! A simple google search will provide you with all the “pi day” resources you could ever want!
P.S…if you want to be super, super precise, celebrate it at 1:59:27, but that’s optional. Just acknowledge Pi Day!!
