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: today 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. Learn more about Pi Day. -s
