Happy “Pi” Day AND Happy “π” Day

When is pi also π?

I should have thought ahead on this article, but I wasn’t really keeping track of days, so I forgot to write anything for pi day. Honestly, as much as I am a mathematician, I’m not a huge follower of the holiday. I don’t know why. But pi itself is rather interesting. There’s definitely some math ahead, but I’ll try to make the fun points clear with some bold and italic font.
