3.14 Today is Pi Day!!

Hey, everyone, today is Pi Day!!

From the AMS

Quote:

It's the only holiday to honor a number: Pi Day, on 3-14, the beginning digits of the infinite, nonrepeating decimal expansion of pi = 3.1415926... As the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, pi is irrational and transcendental...

Possible ways to celebrate Pi Day this year:

If you go out drinking in observance of Pi Day you may want to sing these songs.

You can always watch (one of my favorite movies) Pi.

Maybe you would like to brush up on the history of Pi.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Pi Day! :)

Yeah...I'm full of it (useless information, that is). :)

My birthday wasn't found, qwerty. So I changed a few numbers and then it found it....but then it's not my birthday, now, is it??? :confused:

Another concept related to pi I find interesting is squaring a circle.

I have a great explanation of it in one of my books (way too many to go look through to find, though), but this less glamorous explanation will do. Squaring the circle
