Guess what next Monday, 3/14 is? Pi Day!
March 14th is the official day that this irrational number representing the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is celebrated around the world. Traditional celebrations include eating pie and contests as to who can recite the most digits of pi. In 2009, National Pi Day was recognized by Congress and today, it continues to be celebrated in Math classrooms and by Math enthusiasts around the nation.
How will you celebrate? I'm planning to run the Pi Mile foot race hosted by Georgia Tech. For more celebration ideas and events, please visit Pi Across America. Don't forget to have your pi and eat it too!
