Celebrating PI Day
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”)
is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio
of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is
approximately 3.14159.
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.
