It's not the LIFE OF PIE's pie !
March 14 -- 3-14 -- is Pi Day. Adding more this to this Albert Einstein was born on this day.
Pi is defined as the distance around a perfect circle, or the circumference, divided by the distance across it, or the diameter. It is also involved in calculating the area of a circle, the volume of a sphere, and many other mathematical formulas you might need in the sciences.
Valuof this Pi is : 3.1415926535897932 ... etc. Even that many digits are more than most people would need for everyday use.
WHAT all you can do??
"pi" sounds like "pie," and pies are round in shape. You could celebrate Pi Day in a casual way by grabbing a slice of pastry, or pizza. Or force your school mathematics department to go outside on a trip or at-least ask them to not to teach them for the day !!
How did Pi Day become such a big thing?
"People all around the world are hungry to make science and math fun and interesting," he said in an e-mail. "We know math and science is important, we know that it's fascinating, but we often don't know how to make it fun and interesting. Pi Day gives us a great excuse to throw away our fear of math and say 'Hey, it IS kind of neat!' "
If you agree, just wait until 3/14/15 -- or as one popular Facebook group calls it, "The Only Pi Day of Our Lives."
That's because pi to four digits after the decimal is 3.1415, and we're unlikely to survive until 2115 to see that second instance of pi perfection.
So get ready next year to take a picture of your digital clock on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 a.m. That'll be worth more than a thousand digits.
So how you all are going to celebrate it ?? write us below >>
