I am excited and I would assume that all of you that are math inclined share the same enthusiasm for today. Why you ask? It's 3/14 -- PI Day. You know the mathematical constant that we use in all kinds of calculations and frustrations of math instruction in our schools. Remember the value of Pi? ...Yep, you are right... 3.14 (kinda like 3/14). However, as it is an irrational constant we still are looking for the complete value but it starts looking like π = approximately 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510...
Of course if you like Pi Day, you will also like July 22nd which is Pi Approximation Day as 22/7 (day/month date format) is a fractional approximation of Pi. BTW ...July 22nd is 100 days away.
In any case, enjoy your Pi today!
