Pi

-
Hello everyone,

                        Pi denotes the relationship between a circle’s circumference and its diameter and is denoted by the fraction 22/7 which calculates approximately to 3.14. One of the most widely recognized mathematical constant, π, is an irrational number, the digits of which repeat in a random fashion and are never ending.In recent years, some mathematicians and physicists have argued for the replacement of the π by tau and to celebrate Tau Day on June 28 instead of celebrating Pi Day or Pi Approximation Day.

Here are a few ideas on how to celebrate the day:
  • Eat some pie—stop at a restaurant or bakery, or make your own.
  • Eat some pizza.
  • Memorize as many digits of π as you can. You can start by learning the first 10,000 digits. Quiz yourself or challenge your friends to see who can learn the most.
  • Do some math problems using pi.
        
Pi Approximation Day is observed in a lot of ways, which include eating a pie and discussion of the significance of number π. Various schools also hold competitions in order to find out which student recalls Pi to its highest number of decimal places.
