Today is known throughout the mathematical land as Pi Day.
Everyone knows that March 14th is Pi Day because today’s date is 3/14 and pi has a value of approximately 3.14.
But, what most people don’t know is that in one year we will celebrate Super Pi Day, since the date will be 3/14/15, as close as we’ll ever get to the true value of pi.
That is all.
Except, of course, March 14, 1592.
I think it wasn’t even called ‘pi’ at that time
True, but I did say “as close as we’ll ever get”. But a fair point. 🙂
3/14/16 will actually be closer to pi. You should round up (3.14159).
There’s March 14, 15192, of course, but we’ll have to wait awhile. At least on the Gregorian calendar
Or today at 1:59:26.5359
You mean 15926.
There is no such thing as Pi day. There is no 3rd day in month number 14 😉
wouldn’t 3.14.16 be closer?
3/14? What is the fourteenth month?
Educational publishers know how to celebrate Pi Day. The math curriculum folks at my last day job certainly didn’t skimp on company-wide games, contests, and pie.
this year, march is pi MONTH! 3/14!
