3 friends and I celebrated Pie Day this morning here in southcentral Pennsyltucky. Blueberry pie and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream for breakfast. This was a first us. Prolly will make it an annual thing.
Pie are square? That’s crazy talk. Pie are round, cake are square.
Celebrating pi day seems irrational
“Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world.”
I read some places in the world celebrated Pi Day on 31 April...31/4.
I'm a math guy, and I never thought that this sounded like "fun."
Do love me some pi though.
> Pi has been calculated to over 50 trillion digits beyond its decimal point. <
Maybe I’m missing something, but that sounds like nonsense to me.
Pi is of course based on two measurements, a circle’s C and D. Now, a calculated value can only be us “good” as the relevant measurements are. So if a circle’s C and D are known to, say, eight digits each, pi can only be known to eight digits.
50 trillion digits? Nope, not buying it. But maybe I’m missing something here.
As I told the kids, the first guy to sail around the world was Sir Cumference! 😃
Also a good day to hire your friendly neighborhood private investigator! :)
Rensnalear Polytechnic Institute hockey cheer from the 1930’s (as told to me by an ancient graduate in the 1980’s):
“E to the x, dx, dx
E to the y, dy
Tangent, secant, cosign, sign
3.14159
Disintegrate them RPI!”
What is the implication of an infinite non repeating number?
to be much more irrational as you can see it but you can't compute it.mmmm. loves me some Coconut cream.
The real pi day was centuries ago, 3-14-1592
The Pi symbol was introduced in 1706 by mathematician William Jones, but it wasn't made popular until Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler used it in 1737.The Pi symbol is the first letter of the Greek word, perimetros, which loosely translates to "circumference," says PiDay.org.

It’s irrational! We are all irrational! The world is irrational!
It’s all Lambert’s fault! Blame him!
Math teacher: Pie are square
Student. No. Pie are round!
Cosine, secant, tangent, sine, 3.14159!
