Tomorrow is Pi day. Not Pie day.

 

It is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant Pi. An observation of March 14, so 3. 14, namely the first 3 digits of a constant number that is the ratio of the circles circumference to its diameter.

 

It is an irrational number with infinite and randomly distributed decimals that never repeat. It has been calculated beyond the decimal to over one trillion digits. The ancient Babylonians approximated Pi to be 3.125 around 2000 BCE.

 

Pi day was first conceived in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium. It was made an official resolution in 2009 by the US government. It is celebrated with the eating of pies, or throwing pies, and discussing the Pi constant.

 

SO get ready with your (Pi)e for some nerdy fun.

I love you
