Pi Day

It’s the best-known transcendental number of all-time, and March 14 (3/14 in many countries) is the perfect time to celebrate Pi (π) Day! — Just like it does every year, March 14th is now upon us. While there are many reasons to celebrate the day, mathematically inclined residents of any country that writes the date in (month/day) fashion should immediately be excited by the prospect of seeing the numbers “3” and “14” next to…

From the ancient Greeks to modern computer algorithms, humans have been fascinated. For thousands of years, we have been fascinated by the mathematical constant PI (π). PI is defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It has an infinite number of decimal places.

Happy Pi Day! I posted to our data science channel asking for smart, dumb, serious, funny, creative, or boring ways to estimate π. Here’s what came back: Vinicius Aurichio (6*sum(1/n**2 for n in range(1, 1001)))**(0.5) => 3.1406380562059946 Computing the sum of the inverse of the square of all natural numbers is known…

Pi is mathematical. Every March 14th people celebrate Pi Day—an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π — by eating pies and posting images of circles on Instagram: 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π. Pi speaks to a world without bounds because its digits…

Today, March 14, 2023 is Pi Day. Why today? Since the mathematical constant π (pi) is 3.1415926535897932384626433… and today’s date is March 14, or to use only digits, 3 14, then it is now generally recognised as Pi day. The idea for having an official PI day was initially organised…

Let them eat pi — I live in an academic neighborhood. I always have. It’s my natural habitat. If I were in a zoo, my outdoor cage sign would read — NATURAL HABITAT — ACADEMIC NEIGHBORHOOD In my natural habitat, I would be sitting behind a desk with a cup of coffee. …
