Pi Day is probably the least important thing you could possibly think about, which is exactly why I think it is important, so… Happy Pi Day! Every year, math geeks (like me) celebrate Pi Day on March 14 (aka 3/14, get it?). One more thing: is Albert Einstein's birthday, so happy birthday, Albert!
If you remember your grade school math, Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used to represent an important and very useful constant: the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately 3.14159. (Is Pi more useful than a towel?)
Call your favourite math teacher and tell them you love them. Recite as many digits of Pi as you can remember, eat some pie, and take a moment to cherish the value of understanding transcendental numbers. . -s
