Everyone remember that!
To how many digits do YOU remember pi?

It's just somthing to show off with other math nerdsmattmns said:I know up to 3.14159. Is there some reason to memorize the digits?
moose said:Everyone knows that the cool people memorize e and square root of two... I should do that someday.
d_leet said:Yea totally, at my school we have a pi day every year, but next year I have to try and get the math club to do e day because that's just cooler lol.
Well it wouldn't be e day on march 14th it could be e day on February 7th.JasonRox said:You can't do a e day.
That makes no sense, does it?
March 14 is Pi Day. For those who don't know, 3.14 is short for March 14.

JasonRox said:Yeah, but e isn't known as 2.7. That ruins the fun.

HA! Does that count in GD? Either a G rating is higher then I thought, or...well...a G rating must be higher then I thought.TheStatutoryApe said:Taco Pie

Pi Day is a holiday that celebrates the mathematical constant pi (π), which is approximately 3.14. It falls on March 14th (3/14) because the first three digits of pi are 3.14.
Pi Day is celebrated in various ways, including eating pie, participating in pi-related activities and competitions, and discussing the significance of pi in mathematics and science. Many schools and universities also hold events and lectures about pi on this day.
Pi is important in mathematics because it is a fundamental constant that relates a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is also used in many mathematical equations and formulas, making it a crucial part of many scientific and engineering calculations.
Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium. It became an official holiday in 2009 when the US House of Representatives passed a resolution designating March 14th as National Pi Day.
Yes, there are many interesting facts about pi, including the fact that its digits have been calculated to over one trillion decimal places and that it is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. Additionally, pi has been studied and used by mathematicians for thousands of years, with its first recorded use dating back to ancient civilizations in Egypt and Babylon.
