Today marks one of the most misleading international holiday names out there. Today is International Pi Day. (I could really go for a slice of French Silk pie right now…well, not really. I just ate a delicious cinnamon roll.) The point is, it’s not that sort of pie. March 14 is International Pi Day, referring to the mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean geometry. (I have no idea what I even just said…)
So for those who care, here’s pi to 100 digits!!!
3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679
Wow, wasn’t that fun?
What do you mean, “No?”
Ok, fine. Instead, I’ll leave you with a bad joke about pie:
Little Johnny and his family lived in the country, and as a result seldom had guests. He was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his father, who again gave it to a guest. This was too much for Little Johnny, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size."
I guess the lesson is to be happy with what you’ve got, even if it’s just some irrational real number, like pi. (Hey, it makes the engineers and math teachers happy…)
Much luv,
Rob
