Happy Pi Day 2017
March 14 - or 3/14 - is Pi Day in honor of the Greek letter that represents the symbol used in mathematics to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter - approximately 3.14.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi's infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.

Woohoo! My kiddos are singing The Pi Song later (2nd/3rd grade). My 6th grader should have her Pi-related code assignment done too. We can't wait to see what it does!
Happy Pi Day to you too

I teach algebra 1 and we were supposed to have a pi day celebration today. Five bonus points to anyone who brings in a pie. There's no school because of the snow storm and I'm not sure what to do with all of this jello2

The number 1 is the most commonly occurring number in the first 100,000 decimal places of pi. It occurs 10,137 times.2

In advanced science and mathematics, pi is defined as twice the smallest positive x for which which cos(x) = 0.2

2 years ago I ran 3.14 miles in the "Pi Day Dash"...on 3/14/15 at 9:26am (that's pi down to 7 digits!). I also make real pies for pi day and vow to eat round things all day (quiche, pizza, cheese wheels, you get the drift). I am wearing my own 3D printed pi symbols earring today, too. Yup, I'm obsessed.
